Ferredoxin has been used in studies of assimilation of inorganic nitrogen from nitrite or nitrate in the absence of ammonium. Ferredoxin is important in the electron transfer cascade required for this nitrogen assimilation.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Ferredoxins are iron-containing proteins that serve as electron-transfer catalysts in photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation.
Packaging
Package sizes are based on ferredoxin content.
Preparation Note
Partially purified by the method of Tagawa and Arnon, Nature, 195, 537 (1962).
Haloferax mediterranei is a halophilic archaeon that can grow using nitrate as the sole nitrogen source. A ferredoxin that serves as the physiological electron donor to the nitrate and nitrite reductases in this assimilatory process has been characterized. The ferredoxin

In the absence of ammonium, many organisms, including the halophilic archaeon Haloferax volcanii DS2 (DM3757), may assimilate inorganic nitrogen from nitrate or nitrite, using a ferredoxin-dependent assimilatory NO₃⁻/NO₂⁻ reductase pathway. The small acidic ferredoxin Hv-Fd plays an essential role in

Haloferax mediterranei is a halophilic archaeon that can grow in aerobic conditions with nitrate as sole nitrogen source. The electron donor in the aerobic nitrate reduction to ammonium was a ferredoxin. This ferredoxin has been purified and characterised. Air-oxidized H.

The gene encoding the cytochrome P450 CYP121 is essential for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, the CYP121 catalytic activity remains unknown. Here, we show that the cyclodipeptide cyclo(l-Tyr-l-Tyr) (cYY) binds to CYP121, and is efficiently converted into a single major product in
Enzymatic Assay of Ferredoxin NADP Reductase - To standardize a procedure for the enzymatic assay of Ferredoxin NADP Reductase (EC.1.18.12).
