Popis: From a study of the magnetic field dependence of the linear electric field effect (LEFE) in EPR spectroscopy, we demonstrate that iron-sulfur cluster 3 in air-oxidized, beef heart succinate-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Complex II) is a 3-iron cluster. This suggests that cluster 3 may arise by oxidative degradation from a 4-iron cluster originally present in the enzyme and may be reconverted back into a 4-iron cluster under reducing conditions. Linear electric field effect studies of succinate-reduced Complex II are in accord with the view that cluster 1 is a 2-iron cluster.
