Explain how nature obtains a large variation in reduction

Reference no: EM13648119

One function of iron-sulfur clusters and heme cofactors is to participate in electron transfer reactions. Describe how nature obtains a large variation in reduction potentials using these cofactors when the iron atoms can only change between the Fe+2 and Fe+3 oxidation states.
