Structural insights into 3Fe–4S ferredoxins diversity in M. tuberculosis highlighted by a first redox complex with P450 [PDF]

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023
Ferredoxins are small iron–sulfur proteins and key players in essential metabolic pathways. Among all types, 3Fe–4S ferredoxins are less studied mostly due to anaerobic requirements.

Diversification of Ferredoxins across Living Organisms

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2021
Ferredoxins, iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster proteins, play a key role in oxidoreduction reactions. To date, evolutionary analysis of these proteins across the domains of life have been confined to observing the abundance of Fe-S cluster types (2Fe-2S, 3Fe-4S,
