Microbiologists discover bacteria that eliminate toxic sulfide and use iron minerals to grow. An international group of researchers led by microbiologists Marc Mussmann and Alexander Loy at the ...

Iron--sulfur (Fe--S) proteins, essential to all life forms, are difficult to synthesise due to the complicated molecular machinery involved and sensitivity of Fe--S clusters to oxygen. In a new study, ...

Researchers from UNIGE and Marburg show that D-cysteine, the "mirror" form of cysteine, selectively targets certain cancer ...

Scientists found iron-fueled microbial life thriving deep beneath the Red Sea at Hatiba Mons, revealing a vast, metal-driven ...

Before sunlight ever reached the planet, another force may have sparked life—electricity. Deep beneath the ocean floor, ...

The very first cells obtained their energy from geochemical reactions. LMU researchers have now managed to recreate this ancient metabolic process in their laboratory. Most likely, the earliest ...

Mitochondrial proteins are essential multifunctional components that maintain cellular energy, mediate redox reactions and orchestrate cell signalling. Among these, proteins harbouring iron‐sulfur (Fe ...

University of Vienna researchers discover MISO bacteria that breathe iron minerals while oxidizing toxic hydrogen sulfide in ...

Because oxygen-bearing sulfate minerals trap and preserve signals from Earth's atmosphere, scientists closely study how they ...

The latest news regarding more efficient batteries includes an iron-air system built from safe, low-cost materials—iron, ...

Fe–S clusters, which are a part of Fe–S proteins, are found across all forms of life. They play a significant role as biological cofactors—helper molecules that assist these proteins in different ...
