• Question from:Mehmet yeniyap?

Hey,

In oxidation, there are electron transporters that linked to membrane. And in that electron transporters, there're Iron-Sulphur proteins. And it's reduction potencial is related to "Which way iron's center is buried to protein"

i got it, but how many ways are there? is it like ß or something like that? i'm studying now and that question came to my mind

I'm not sure I understand your question and its context. Have a read of this article and come back if you have more questions:

there is no "up and down" for a single iron ion in the context of its position in a protein.
