We illustrate structure and electrochemistry of proteins containing {[Fe2S2](Cys)3(X)} and {[Fe2S2](Cys)2(His)2}core(s).
We present the structural changes consequent to the Fe(III)/Fe(III)/Fe(III)Fe(II) passage in proteins harboring {[Fe2S2](Cys)3(X)} and {[Fe2S2](Cys)2(His)2} redox active centers.
We examine structure/electrochemistry of synthetic {[Fe2S2](S-X)2(N-X’)2} complexes biomimetic of {[Fe2S2](Cys)2(His)2}fragments.
