Ferredoxin-sulfite Reductase from Spinach [PDF]
Ferredoxin-sulfite reductase (Fd-SiR) [hydrogen-sulfide: ferredoxin oxidoreductase, EC 1.8.7.1] from spinach leaves has been purified to homogeneity by a new procedure. Subunit analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis yielded a single protein band with a molecular weight of 71,000.

Measurement of ferredoxin-dependent sulfite reductase activity in crude extracts from leaves using O-acetyl-l-serine sulfhydrylase in a coupled assay system to measure the sulfide formed [PDF]
Ferredoxin-dependent sulfite reductase (EC 1.8.7.1) catalyses the reduction of sulfite to sulfide, using reduced ferredoxin as an electron donor. An assay system was developed for measuring this enzyme activity in crude extracts and broken chloroplast ...

Evolutionary insights into bilin biosynthesis: Functional characterization of pre-PcyA enzymes. [PDF]
Abstract Biosynthesis of the linear tetrapyrrole phycocyanobilin (PCB) by the ferredoxin‐dependent bilin reductase (FDBR) PcyA is essential for light‐harvesting and regulatory processes in diverse photosynthetic organisms, yet its evolutionary origins are not fully understood. PcyA evolved from pre‐PcyA proteins found in diverse bacteria.

An Overview of the Electron-Transfer Proteins That Activate Alkane Monooxygenase (AlkB)
Alkane-oxidizing enzymes play an important role in the global carbon cycle. Alkane monooxygenase (AlkB) oxidizes most of the medium-chain length alkanes in the environment. The first AlkB identified was from P.
