In particular, the study of SRB ferredoxins enables us to survey the different properties of simple iron-sulfur proteins, including electron transfer, flexibility in coordination chemistry, and ability to undergo cluster interconversions. Most of the observations can be extrapolated to more complex situations. 

The iron-sulfur proteins include small proteins that function as remarkably simple electron carriers and large multisubunit complexes with multiple activities. Although many of these enzymes function in electron transfer in bioener-getic or biosynthetic pathways, it has become clear that iron-sulfur proteins catalyze a broad array of reactions not always involving electron transfer.
