Iron-sulfur clusters are ubiquitous cofactors in redox biochemistry and perform some of the most kinetically challenging reactions in the biosphere. In this talk, I will describe how my research group uses synthetic iron-sulfur clusters to understand the properties, reactivity, and function of iron-sulfur proteins. Topics to be discussed will include methods for controlling the coordination chemistry of iron-sulfur clusters, insights into how a cluster’s electronic structure dictates its reactivity, and small molecule activation at iron-sulfur clusters.
