Hello all,
what is meant by Rieske..[i quite often read in Rieske dioxygenase, sometimes in bioinorganic chemistry.]
Please explain me in brief. (1 or 2 lines).
thanks

It means the enzyme has http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rieske_Fe2S2.svg" in it. But you could have easily found that out yourself by searching for 'rieske' and clicking on the first link.

I wonder how it would be called if you replace both His with Her.

 

[Rajini]

May be Rieske would be replaced by Rieskis

One again please.
So Reiske means a complex contains Fe-S or 2Fe-2S ??
thanks

I can't seem to find any structures with a HER in it.. but there's a lot of iron enzymes with a HEM in them

The latter, the whole two-irons-with-bridging-sulphides thing.
