Iron–sulfur (Fe–S) proteins, essential to all life forms, are difficult to synthesise due to the complicated molecular machinery involved and sensitivity to oxygen . In a new study, a team of researchers devised an innovative protocol for synthesising mature Fe –S proteins by bringing together a recombinant sulfur assimilation (SUF) system and an oxygen-scavenging system .
