iron-sulfur protein

iron-sulfur protein
a group of proteins, including ferredoxins and adrenodoxin, that function in electron transport; they contain iron-sulfur centers of the form Fe2S2Cys4 or Fe4S4Cys4, where Cys denotes a cysteine residue; the iron atoms undergo reversible transitions between the +2 and +3 oxidation states.
