Abstract
We have used nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) to examine the nature of the Fe-S unit. Specifically, vibrational characteristics have been determined, and through incremental steps in model system complexity, applied to analysis of the enzyme nitrogenase. This stepwise strategy demonstrates NRVS as a viable bioinorganic tool, and will undoubtedly increase the application of synchrotron spectroscopy to biological problems.
