Metalloproteins — proteins containing metal atoms or clusters — are involved in a wide range of important biological processes. Recent advances in our understanding of metalloproteins include how enzymes containing complex metal clusters metabolize small gaseous molecules, how proteins containing iron–sulphur clusters are assembled, and how enzymes containing a single metal ion catalyse the halogenation of small organic molecules.

This Nature Insight is accompanied by a special podcast on metalloproteins, which features interviews with several of the authors.
