Iron--sulfur (Fe--S) proteins, essential to all life forms, are difficult to synthesise due to the complicated molecular machinery involved and sensitivity of Fe--S clusters to oxygen. In a new study, ...

Researchers have developed a novel engineered biochar that can simultaneously immobilize arsenic and cadmium in contaminated water and agricultural ...

Mitochondrial proteins are essential multifunctional components that maintain cellular energy, mediate redox reactions and orchestrate cell signalling. Among these, proteins harbouring iron‐sulfur (Fe ...

Researchers captured in real time how iron-sulfur nanostructures form in solution, using time-resolved X-rays to follow the pathway from precursors to ultrathin layers. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at ...

The very first cells obtained their energy from geochemical reactions. LMU researchers have now managed to recreate this ancient metabolic process in their laboratory. Most likely, the earliest ...

A group of chemists from Rice University has created a more cost-effective and ecologically friendly method of incorporating chlorine into chemical building blocks for pharmaceuticals, plastics, ...

Friedreich's ataxia (FA) is a rare but devastating genetic disorder. Those with the condition are often diagnosed between 5 and 15 years of age and live only into their 30s or 40s. There is no widely ...

Test soil regularly and apply soil acidifiers accordingly to maintain consistent pH.

Fe–S clusters, which are a part of Fe–S proteins, are found across all forms of life. They play a significant role as biological cofactors—helper molecules that assist these proteins in different ...
