The [4Fe-4S] cluster containing scaffold complex HypCD is the central construction site for the assembly of the [Fe](CN)2CO cofactor precursor of [NiFe]-hydrogenase. While the importance of the HypCD complex is well established, not much is known about the mechanism by which the CN– and CO ligands are transferred and attached to the iron ion. We developed an efficient protocol for the production and isolation of the functional HypCD complex that facilitated detailed spectroscopic investigations. The results obtained by UV/Vis-, electron paramagnetic Resonance (EPR)-, Resonance Raman-, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), and Mössbauer spectroscopy provide comprehensive evidence for an electron inventory fit to drive multi-electron redox reactions. We demonstrate the redox activity of the HypCD complex reporting the interconversion of the [4Fe-4S]2+/+ couple. Additionally, we observed a reversible redox conversion between the [4Fe-4S]2+ and a [3Fe-4S]+ cluster. MicroScale thermophoresis indicated preferable binding between the HypCD complex and its interaction partner HypEF under reducing conditions. Together, these results suggest a redox cascade involving the [4Fe-4S] cluster and a conserved disulfide bond of HypD that may facilitate the synthesis of the [Fe](CN)2CO cofactor precursor on the HypCD scaffold complex.

The polycondensation sol–gel reaction of 5-methylresocinol and formaldehyde with additional compounds in reaction media is a relatively simple way to produce modified aerogels. In order to obtain aerogels with a large surface area and high porosity, the conditions for gel formation, the solvent exchange process before drying, and the supercritical drying process were optimized. A successful attempt was made to introduce ferrocene units into 5-methylresocinol-formaldehyde-based aerogels. The resulting aerogels are amorphous substrates, and no aggregated ferrocene units were found in their structures. All of the aerogel samples that were obtained are structurally similar despite differences in the original ferrocene units and their initial concentration. It was found that the inclusion limit of ferrocene structural blocks into an aerogel is ~6% wt. The structures of the inclusions in which all of the Fe atoms in the aerogel substrates were present in ferrocene/ferrocenium at an approximate ratio of 60/40 to 55/45 were confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Aerogels with ferrocene/ferrocenium inclusions are likely to exhibit reversible redox activity in reactions with gaseous reagents.

Short-chain quinones (SCQs) have been investigated as potential therapeutic candidates against mitochondrial dysfunction, which was largely thought to be associated with the reversible redox characteristics of their active quinone core. We recently reported a library of SCQs, some of which showed potent cytoprotective activity against the mitochondrial complex I inhibitor rotenone in the human hepatocarcinoma cell line HepG2. To better characterize the cytoprotection of SCQs at a molecular level, a bioactivity profile for 103 SCQs with different compound chemistries was generated that included metabolism related markers, redox activity, expression of cytoprotective proteins and oxidative damage. Of all the tested endpoints, a positive correlation with cytoprotection by SCQs in the presence of rotenone was only observed for the NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1)-dependent reduction of SCQs, which also correlated with an acute rescue of ATP levels. The results of this study suggest an unexpected mode of action for SCQs that appears to involve a modification of NQO1-dependent signaling rather than a protective effect by the reduced quinone itself. This finding presents a new selection strategy to identify and develop the most promising compounds towards their clinical use.
