摘要
In an organism, two thermodynamic factors are important in ensuring that homometallic [4Fe-4S] cubane clusters are formed in preference to clusters containing heterometals such as Zn or Cu. These are the electronic resonance stabilisation, which boosts the binding of Fe(II) within an Fe-S cluster relative to its normally low position in the Irving-Williams order, and attenuation of the cytoplasmic concentrations of competing metals such as Zn or Cu by specific ligands.
