  1. DTT, dithiothreitol; FXN, frataxin; L-cys, L-cysteine.
  2. The bimolecular rate constants of NFS1 persulfide reduction, , were determined from multiple-turnover kinetics by linear regression of the initial velocities of L-alanine formation plotted as a function of initial reductant concentrations.
