Lights on iron-sulfur clusters.
The biogenesis of iron-sulfur proteins within a living cell is traditionally investigated by enzyme activity measurements and radiolabeling techniques. In this issue of Chemistry and Biology, Hoff et al. introduce a non-invasive fluorescence-based method to trace the formation of iron-sulfur clusters at high sensitivity.
