Re: [ccp4bb] A question related to Fe-S proteins

Dear Professor Ethan, I apologize, for the partial information provided by me in the second email. For the *in vivo* assembled (as-purified) protein, we have confirmed the [4Fe-4S] cluster by CD and EPR. From the 415/280 ratio and Ferrozine assay, we have

Dear Professor Diana, Thank you very much for your comment, and we will certainly look at, if ‘domain swapping’ is any reason for the trimeric nature of the protein. There are two cysteines in helix-1 and two cysteines in helix 3.

Is it possible that you have a case of domain swapping that causes the trimeric assembly? Diana ** Diana R. Tomchick Professor Departments of Biophysics and Biochemistry University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center 5323 Harry Hines Blvd. Rm.

Dear all, Sorry for the slightly off-topic question. I am working on a non-native, *de novo* [4Fe-4S] protein, designed as a four-helix bundle. The *in vitro* reconstituted protein assembles with [4Fe-4S] (confirmed by EPR) and exists in monomer-dimer
