Abstract

An overview is given of the mechanistic studies on synthetic Fe-S-based clusters and their relevance to the action of nitrogenases. Focus is on clusters with an Fe-S core which are widespread in biology, such that the mechanistic studies lead to greater understanding of the fundamental chemistry involved in the action of proteins containing such clusters. Topics covered include substitution reactions, protonation reactions, binding of substrate to clusters, transformation of substrates, mechanisms of the extracted FeMo-cofactor, and mechanisms of cluster assembly.
