Fe2+ | 4Fe-4S cluster. Fe-S clusters are of structural, as well as functional, importance to Cfr. Radical-SAM enzymes use an Fe-S cluster to generate the 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical from SAM, enabling them to modify intrinsically unreactive centres such as adenosine C8.

physiological function | the enzyme methylates the 8 position of 23S rRNA residue A2503 to confer resistance to multiple antibiotic classes acting upon the large subunit of the bacterial ribosome. Radical-SAM enzymes use an Fe-S cluster to generate the 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical from SAM, enabling them to modify intrinsically unreactive centres such as adenosine C8 | Azotobacter vinelandii |
