Which of the following are examples of iron-sulphur proteins?
- Rubredoxin
- Methane monooxygenase
- Rieske proteins
- Aconitase
-
1 and 2
-
1, 2 and 3
-
1, 3 and 4
-
2 and 3
-
2, 3 and 4
C
Correct answer
Explanation
This option is correct because Rubredoxin is a small iron-sulphur protein found in various sulphur-metabolizing bacteria, Rieske proteins are iron-sulphur protein components of cytochrome bc1 complexes and cytochrome b6f complexes which were first discovered and isolated by John S. Rieske and co-workers in 1964 and Aconitase is an iron-sulphur protein that catalyses the interconversion of citrate and isocitrate
