EXAFS structural study of FX, the low-potential Fe-S center in photosystem I.
We present iron extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra of a photosystem I core preparation containing FX, the very low potential iron-sulfur cluster in photosystem I. The preparation lacks FA and FB. The amplitude of Fe-Fe backscattering in the EXAFS spectrum indicates that FX may be a [4Fe-4S] cluster and is not a [2Fe-2S] cluster or clusters.
