52. Such a highly reduced cofactor, with a single mixed-valence pair and five ferrous ions is consistent with the absence of an appreciable resonance Raman signal from the MoFe-protein and, as pointed out by a helpful reviewer, with low-temperature MCD measurements, while a cofactor with p = 3 mixed-valence pairs is not.
