Ferredoxin - Wikipedia
The term "ferredoxin" was coined by D.C. Wharton of the DuPont Co. and applied to the "iron protein" first purified in 1962 by Mortenson, Valentine, and Carnahan from the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium pasteurianum.
Ferredoxin - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Ferredoxin is a metalloprotein, with an anchored Fe-S group in its inner shell. It is actively involved in the electron transfer process in bacteria. There is a subtle relationship between the enhanced production of hydrogen in the bacteria and the oxidative state of ferredoxin.
Ferredoxins: Functions, Evolution, Potential Applications, and ...
2024年9月1日 · The current review provides the latest insights into ferredoxin functions and evolution, and the new subtype classification, outlining their potential biotechnological applications and the future challenges in streamlining the process.
Ferredoxin - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Ferredoxin is a sulfur/iron electron shuttle protein that plays a role in the mitochondrial electron transport process associated with steroid hydroxylation. It acts as a shuttle, accepting electrons from ferredoxin oxidoreductase and donating them to a P450 hydroxylase.
