Figure 2.
Figure 2. Thermal ellipsoids for the Fe and S atoms of the [3Fe-4S]^+ (a) and [4Fe-4S]^2+ (b) clusters and their S^γ ligand atoms. Coordinates and U[ij] parameters are from the final cycle of refinement. The major axes of the ellipses are plotted at 50% probability, and the volumes depicted represent the 25% probability ellipsoids. The orientation of each cluster is the same as in Figure 1. Note that the shapes of the ellipsoids manifest the asymmetry of the observed electron density.
