ENDOR and ELDOR on Iron-Sulfur Proteins

  • Chapter

Abstract

It is fitting that a book of this nature should include a chapter on the application of double resonance techniques to the study of iron-sulfur proteins. Magnetic resonance techniques have permitted a detailed study of the nature of the active sites of many proteins that had not been possible previously. Among these is the whole class of iron-sulfur proteins. These proteins have been implicated, primarily as electron carriers, in the mediation of a wide variety of biochemical reactions in plants, bacteria, and mammals. They are involved in photosynthesis, oxidative phosphorylation, nitrogen fixation, and many hydroxylations, to name but a few important functions.
