Hi,

iron-sulfur-molybdenum cofactor, or 7Fe-Mo-9S-X-homocitryl cluster (UniProt name).

Several new publications have been published providing new information about the structure of this cluster, and they show that it is not a N atom that bridges the two halfs of the Fe7S9 cluster, but a carbide ion.

Please update the entry to include this new information.

    Done! The structure now shows a carbide(4-) ion at its centre. Generated data (formula, mass, charge, InChI and Smiles) all auto-updated. Definition and new citations added. Updates will appear in the May 2014 release.
