GO Term : GO:0051538 3 iron, 4 sulfur cluster binding GO

Namespace:  molecular_function Obsolete:  false
description  Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a 3 iron, 4 sulfur (3Fe-4S) cluster; this cluster consists of three iron atoms, with the inorganic sulfur atoms found between the irons and acting as bridging ligands. It is essentially a 4Fe-4S cluster with one iron missing.
