title: Iron-sulfur cluster stability. Kinetics and mechanism of ligand-promoted cluster degradation.
abstract: Reactivity studies of iron-sulfur cluster proteins with chelating ligands model the reactivity of cluster scaffold proteins such as ISU, and suggest a rate law [k(obs) = k2[ligand]n/{[ligand]n + K(D)}] consistent with formation of a pre-reaction complex between the Fe-S protein and one chelate ligand.
