Evidence for the synthesis of an unusual high spin (S = 7/2) [Cu–3Fe–4S] cluster in the radical-SAM enzyme RSAD2 (viperin)†
Abstract
We demonstrate the synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of an unusual high spin (S = 7/2) [Cu–3Fe–4S] cluster in a member of the radical-SAM enzymes. This is the first step in using synthetic [Me–3Fe–4S] clusters for obtaining new insight into the mechanism of radical-SAM catalysis.
