The right ingredients : Novel biosynthetic pathways for iron–sulfur clusters (see figure) are being unraveled rapidly in the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This hot research field provides new insights into the assembly of iron–sulfur proteins as well as into the origin of life, mitochondrial evolution, and iron‐storage diseases.
