In higher plants, ferredoxin (Fd):NADPH oxidoreductase (FNR) catalyzes reduction of NADP + in the final step of linear photosynthetic electron transport and is also implicated in cyclic electron flow.

The iron-bearing protein ferredoxin is present in all photosynthetlc cells. It has now been shown that ferredoxin can catalyse, by two distinct photochemical reactions, the production of ATP in ...

In Clostridien ist die exergone Reduktion von Crotonyl-CoA zu Butyryl-CoA mit NADH an die endergone Reduktion von Ferredoxin mit NADH gekoppelt. Der Prozess, Elektronenbifurkation genannt, wird von ...

Under aerobic conditions that are likely to prevail in chloroplasts in vivo, the optimal concentration of ferredoxin for cyclic photophosphorylation was found to be equal to that required for NADP ...

The hydrogen atoms of [4Fe-4S] type ferredoxin, one of the electron carriers, have been visualized and both experiments and calculations have revealed the mechanisms that control the redox potential.

Iron is a limiting nutrient in bacterial infection putting it at the centre of an evolutionary arms race between host and pathogen. Gram-negative bacteria utilize TonB-dependent outer membrane ...

Scientists are analyzing the role of ferredoxin proteins produced when viral phages alter electron transfer in ocean-dwelling, photosynthetic bacteria that produce oxygen and store carbon. Beneath the ...

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a subtype of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that represents around 40% of all lung tumors. Despite therapeutic advancements, LUAD remains a leading cause of ...

In der Natur werden riesige Mengen Methan von methanogenen Archaeen produziert. Wir untersuchen zurzeit in Zusammenarbeit mit Ulrich Ermler vom Max-Planck-Institut für Biophysik, Abteilung Molekulare ...

A group of researchers in Japan has revealed, for the first time, a mechanism for controlling the potential of an “electron carrier” protein in the redox reaction that all organisms need to obtain ...
