Kabasakal BV, Cotton CAR, Murray JW.
PMID: 34726179
Acta Crystallogr F Struct Biol Commun. 2021 Nov 01;77:407-411. doi: 10.1107/S2053230X21009936. Epub 2021 Oct 19.

Azotobacter vinelandii is a model diazotroph and is the source of most nitrogenase material for structural and biochemical work. Azotobacter can grow in above-atmospheric levels of oxygen, despite the sensitivity of nitrogenase activity to oxygen. Azotobacter has many iron-sulfur...

Chem Commun (Camb). 2016 Nov 10;52(92):13456-13459. doi: 10.1039/c6cc07912a.

Based on UV-Vis, NMR, and EPR spectroscopies and DFT and molecular dynamics calculations, a model prebiotic [2Fe-2S] tripeptide was shown to accept and donate electrons. Duplications of the tripeptide sequence led to a protoferredoxin with increased stability. Duplications of...

Individual Reduction Potentials of the Iron Ions in Fe(2)S(2) and High-Potential Fe(4)S(4) Ferredoxins.

Inorganic chemistry

PMID: 11666635
Inorg Chem. 1996 Jul 03;35(14):4248-4253. doi: 10.1021/ic960051q.

The DelPhi program package has been used to confirm that the span in reduction potentials among high-potential Fe(4)S(4) ferredoxins must be mainly ascribed to the net protein charges arising from acidic and basic residues. Subsequently, the order of the...

Ferredoxins are electron carrier proteins that contain active sites consisting of nonheme iron and inorganic sulfur. They are ubiquitous in living cells and are believed to be among the earliest redox proteins having appeared in primitive organisms. The small...

The coding site of chloroplast ferredoxin.

Planta. 1977 Jan;137(2):97-105. doi: 10.1007/BF00387545.

Ferredoxins were isolated and purified from leaves of different species of Nicotiana and Petunia and from spinach leaves. Their spectral properties, degree of homogeneity, and molecular weights were determined. The preparations were further analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of...

Photosynth Res. 1988 Oct;18(1):179-204. doi: 10.1007/BF00042984.

The gene encoding ferredoxin I (petF1) from the filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7937 (Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413) was cloned by low stringency hybridization with the ferredoxin cDNA from the higher plant Silene pratensis. The petF1 gene from the...

Cs8[Fe4S10] and Cs7[Fe4S8], two new sulfido ferrates with different tetrameric anions.

Inorganic chemistry

Inorg Chem. 2015 Feb 02;54(3):1038-48. doi: 10.1021/ic502382v. Epub 2014 Dec 16.

The two new cesium sulfido ferrates Cs(8)[Fe(4)S(10)] and Cs(7)[Fe(4)S(8)] were synthesized at a maximum temperature of 1070 K in corundum crucibles from stoichiometric samples containing elemental Fe and S together with cesium disulfide, Cs(2)S(2). Their crystal structures have been...

Amino acid sequence of ferredoxin II from the phototroph Rhodospirillum rubrum: Characteristics of a 7Fe ferredoxin.

PMID: 24301605
Photosynth Res. 1995 Nov;46(1):371-6. doi: 10.1007/BF00020453.

The complete sequence of amino acids of ferredoxin II (FdII) from Rhodospirillum rubrum was determined by repetitive Edman degradation using pyridylethylated-ferredoxin and oxidized, denatured ferredoxin. Peptides derived from trypsin, pepsin, Glu-C endoproteinase, Arg-C endoproteinase, tryptophan specific cleavage and partial...
