context_page_description: Rieske proteins are iron–sulfur protein components of cytochrome bc₁ complexes and cytochrome b₆f complexes and are responsible for electron transfer in some biological systems. John S. Rieske and co-workers first discovered and isolated the proteins in 1964. It is a unique [2Fe-2S] cluster in that one of the two Fe atoms is coordinated by two histidine residues rather than two cysteine residues. They have since been found in plants, animals, and bacteria with widely ranging electron reduction potentials from -150 to +400 mV.
