Scientific paper

A review is made of certain features of the biology and chemistry of the iron-sulphur proteins which suggests that these proteins may be descended from an ancestral form or form swhich arose very early in the development of biological metabolic systems (the origin of life). If this hypothesis is correct it would suggest that this class of proteins developed during the epoch in which the Earth's atmosphere was reducing in nature and that the relative facility with which the active site of certain contemporary iron-sulphur proteins is experimentally reconstituted may have played a part in their evolutionary development.
