Iron is an essential nutrient that functions as a catalyst for many cellular reactions, in particular those involving redox and O2 chemistry (reviewed in [Briat et al., 2007][1]; [Jeong and Guerinot, 2009][2]). For example, iron-containing proteins play key roles in the electron transport reactions
