Fe-S transfer « en bloc » ApoBioB was incubated with 5 mM DTT and a two-fold molar excess of either holoSufA (X) or holoIscA () or a four-fold molar excess of Fe2+ and S2- () and increasing concentrations of bathophenantroline. After 30 minutes incubation at 18°C, biotin synthase activity was measured.
