34. In cases with superb resolution, such as that observed for the spectra of E. coli sulfite reductase, we found that the absorption of the siroheme iron and the [4Fe-4S] cluster were exactly in a 1:4 ratio. The spectra of reduced [3Fe-4S] clusters provide additional support for this assumption.
35. eff|, the quantity determining the magnetic splitting, increases at low field and decreases at high field. This pattern of increasing and decreasing splittings is orientation- and field-dependent, and since the A values are small, outward and inward moving features are not resolved at all. However, the splitting pattern is still easily distinguished from that resulting from a site with positive A values; for the latter, the magnetic splittings will always increase with increasing applied field.

62. 54 have shown that extracted cofactor is negatively charged. If three negative charges are assigned to homocitrate and if one assumes that a negatively charged ion replaces the thiolate sulfur of αCys 275, the extracted cofactor will be negatively charged in the S = 3/2 state regardless of whether six or four Fe sites are ferrous.
