Abstract
The aconitase family contains a diverse group of iron-sulphur (Fe-S) i somerases and two types of iron regulatory protein (IRP). Structural c omparisons have revealed three architecturally distinct variants in wh ich one of the four structural domains is covalently linked at either the amino-or carboxy-terminal end of a single polypeptide or else this domain exists as an independent subunit.
