Evolutionary Relationships Between Low Potential Ferredoxin and Flavodoxin Electron Carriers
Frontiers in Energy Research, 2019 Proteins from the ferredoxin (Fd) and flavodoxin (Fld) families function as low potential electrical transfer hubs in cells, at times mediating electron transfer between overlapping sets of oxidoreductases.

Ferredoxin Gene Mutation in Iranian Trichomonas vaginalis Isolates
Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2013 Background: Trichomonas vaginalis causes trichomoniasis and metronidazole is its chosen drug for treatment. Ferredoxin has role in electron transport and carbohydrate metabolism and the conversion of an inactive form of metronidazole (CO) to its active ...

NADP(H) allosterically regulates the interaction between ferredoxin and ferredoxin‐NADP+ reductase
FEBS Open Bio, 2019 Ferredoxin‐NADP+ reductase (FNR) in plants receives electrons from ferredoxin (Fd) at the end of the photosynthetic electron transfer chain and converts NADP+ to NADPH. The interaction between Fd and FNR in plants was previously shown to be attenuated by

Electron Bifurcation and Confurcation in Methanogenesis and Reverse Methanogenesis
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Reduction of the disulfide of coenzyme M and coenzyme B (CoMS–SCoB) by heterodisulfide reductases (HdrED and HdrABC) is the final step in all methanogenic pathways. Flavin-based electron bifurcation (FBEB) by soluble HdrABC homologs play additional roles

Energy Conservation in Fermentations of Anaerobic Bacteria
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Anaerobic bacteria ferment carbohydrates and amino acids to obtain energy for growth. Due to the absence of oxygen and other inorganic electron acceptors, the substrate of a fermentation has to serve as electron donor as well as acceptor, which results ...
