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.
 


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

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 :wink:

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