    Abstract

    We describe the use of the semi-empirical molecular orbital method PM3 (parametric method 3) to study the electronic structure of iron-sulphur proteins. We first develop appropriate parameters to describe models of the redox site of rubredoxins, followed by some preliminary calculations of multinuclear iron systems of relevance to hydrogenases. © 2005 Biochemical Society.
