Proton-coupled electron transfer in IscR, the Escherichia coli iron-sulfur cluster regulator

Jéssica C. Soares, Lukas Knauer, Alberto Collauto, Maxie M. Roessler, Volker Schünemann, Antonio J. Pierik

This paper identifies proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) in IscR, an Escherichia coli iron-sulfur cluster regulator, through spectroscopic analyses and defines its redox behavior and functional implications.
