Purification and structural characterization of the Na+-translocating ferredoxin: NAD+ reductase (Rnf) complex of Clostridium tetanomorphum [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Rnf reversibly reduces NAD+ by ferredoxin coupled with Na+/H+ pumping for microbial ion gradient or reduced ferredoxin formation. Here, a cryo-EM structure provides information about the participating iron and flavin cofactors, the electron transfer ...

Effect of Artemisinin on the Redox System of NADPH/FNR/Ferredoxin from Malaria Parasites
Antioxidants, 2022 FNR and ferredoxin constitute a redox cascade, which provides reducing power in the plastid of malaria parasites. Recently, mutation of ferredoxin (D97Y) was reported to be strongly related to the parasite’s resistance to the front-line antimalarial drug

Ferredoxin and ferredoxin–heme maquettes [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1996 A 16-amino acid residue peptide derived from a consensus motif of natural ferredoxins incorporates a tetranuclear iron sulfur cluster under physiological conditions. Successful assembly of the [4Fe–4S] 2+/1+ cluster within a monomeric peptide was demonstrated using size exclusion chromatography, UV-visible ...

Plant type ferredoxins and ferredoxin‐dependent metabolism [PDF]
Plant, Cell & Environment, 2013 Ferredoxin (Fd) are small [Fe‐S] cluster containing proteins, which act as the first soluble acceptors of electrons on the stromal side of the chloroplast electron transport chain. In addition to their primary function in photosynthesis, Fds are also involved in a number of other essential metabolic reactions, including biosynthesis of chlorophyll ...
