Plasmodium falciparum Ferredoxin-NADP+ Reductase-Catalyzed Redox Cycling of Plasmodione Generates Both Predicted Key Drug Metabolites: Implication for Antimalarial Drug Development.

ACS Infectious Diseases, 2021
Plasmodione (PD) is a potent antimalarial redox-active 3-benzyl-menadione acting at low nanomolar range concentrations on different malaria parasite stages.

Roles of Ferredoxin-NADP⁺ Oxidoreductase and Flavodoxin in NAD(P)H-Dependent Electron Transfer Systems

Antioxidants, 2022
Distinct isoforms of FAD-containing ferredoxin-NADP+ oxidoreductase (FNR) and ferredoxin (Fd) are involved in photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic electron transfer systems.

Roles of Ferredoxin-Dependent Proteins in the Apicoplast of Plasmodium falciparum Parasites

mBio, 2022
Ferredoxin (Fd) and ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase (FNR) form a redox system that is hypothesized to play a central role in the maintenance and function of the apicoplast organelle of malaria parasites.

Light driven CO2 fixation by using cyanobacterial photosystem I and NADPH-dependent formate dehydrogenase. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The ultimate goal of this research is to construct a new direct CO2 fixation system using photosystems in living algae. Here, we report light-driven formate production from CO2 by using cyanobacterial photosystem I (PS I).

Antagonistic antimalarial properties of a methoxyamino chalcone derivative and 3-hydroxypyridinones in combination with dihydroartemisinin against Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Background The spread of artemisinin (ART)-resistant Plasmodium falciparum threatens the control of malaria. Mutations in the propeller domains of P. falciparum Kelch13 (k13) are strongly associated with ART resistance.

Inter-Organelle NAD Metabolism Underpinning Light Responsive NADP Dynamics in Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Upon illumination, photosystem I in chloroplasts catalyzes light-driven electron transport from plastocyanin to ferredoxin, followed by the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH by ferredoxin:NADP+ reductase for CO2 fixation.

FdC1 and Leaf-Type Ferredoxins Channel Electrons From Photosystem I to Different Downstream Electron Acceptors

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Plant-type ferredoxins in Arabidopsis transfer electrons from the photosystem I to multiple redox-driven enzymes involved in the assimilation of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur.

The Plant–Type Ferredoxin-NADP+ Reductases [PDF]

, 2012
Ferredoxin-NADP+ reductases (FNRs, EC 1.18.1.2) constitute a family of hydrophilic, monomeric enzymes that contain non-covalently bound FAD as prosthetic group. These flavoenzymes deliver NADPH or low potential one-electron donors (ferredoxin, flavodoxin, adrenodoxin) to redox-based metabolisms in plastids, mitochondria and bacteria.

Molecular and functional characterization of ferredoxin NADP(H) oxidoreductase from Gracilaria chilensis and its complex with ferredoxin

Biological Research, 2017
Backgroud Ferredoxin NADP(H) oxidoreductases (EC 1.18.1.2) (FNR) are flavoenzymes present in photosynthetic organisms; they are relevant for the production of reduced donors to redox reactions, i.e.

Molecular Catalysis in “Green” Hydrogen Production

Frontiers in Catalysis, 2022
Molecular hydrogen (H2) is considered an ideal energy vector and a clean fuel, due to its zero-carbon combustion. Nevertheless, despite hydrogen is the most and one of the most abundant elements in the universe and in earth crust, respectively, it is ...
