*Shown in Fig. 1c Italic numbers indicate the overall contributions of HS FeII species, of the two components with 0.4–0.5 mm s−1 isomer shift values (Fe4S4 clusters, LS ferrous haems and FeIII NP), and of the two sites of the Fe2S2 clusters. Uncertainties are ±0.02 mm s−1 on δ, ΔEQ and Γ and ±3 on the percentage of each site.

The linewidth for HS FeII components were constrained to be equal. The same holds for the two sites of the [Fe2S2]2+ clusters.

Isomer shift and quadrupole splitting values are those published for the [Fe2S2]2+ cluster of NifIscA (ref. 53) and were fixed. The two sites were assumed to contribute in a 1:1 ratio.
