Iron-sulfur clusters in chemisy and biology. Volume 2, Biochemistry, biosynthesis and human diseases edited by Tracey Rouault.

Contributor(s): Rouault, Tracey AMaterial type: TextTextPublisher: Berlin De Gruyter, 2017Description: 1 online resourceISBN: 9783110479867; 3110479869Other title: Biochemistry, biosynthesis and human diseasesSubject(s): Iron-sulfur proteins | MEDICAL / Physiology | SCIENCE / Life Sciences / Human Anatomy & PhysiologyGenre/Form: EBSCO eBooks | Electronic books. DDC classification: 612.3/924 LOC classification: QP535.F4Online resources: EBSCOhost Summary: This volume on iron-sulfur proteins includes chapters that discuss how microbes, plants, and animals synthesize these complex prosthetic groups, and why it is important to understand the chemistry and biogenesis of iron sulfur proteins. In addition to their vital importance in mitochondrial respiration, numerous iron sulfur proteins are important in maintenance of DNA integrity. Multiple rare human diseases with different clinical presentations are caused by mutations of genes in the iron sulfur cluster biogenesis pathway. Understanding iron sulfur proteins is important for understanding a rapidly expanding group of metabolic pathways important in all kingdoms of life, and for understanding processes ranging from nitrogen fixation to human disease.
