Georgia Tech biology postdoctoral fellow Shreyas Athavale (left) and chemistry and biochemistry professor Loren Williams look at a gel showing the products of a ribozyme reaction that was run with iron instead of magnesium. Under identical anaerobic conditions, the activity of two enzymes was enhanced in the presence of iron, compared to their activity in the presence of magnesium.
