Redox reactions play important roles in almost all biological processes, including
photosynthesis and respiration, which are two essential energy processes that sustain all life …

Ammonium ion assimilation constitutes a central metabolic pathway in many organisms, and
glutamate synthase, in concert with glutamine synthetase (GS, EC 6.3. 1.2), plays the …

This Handbook on Metalloproteins focuses on the available structural information of proteins
and their metal ion coordination spheres. It centers on the metal ions indispensable for life …

Adrenodoxin is an iron‐sulfur protein that belongs to the broad family of the [2Fe‐2S]‐type
ferredoxins found in plants, animals and bacteria. Its primary function as a soluble electron …

Several major advances in our understanding of the structure, function and properties of
biological iron-sulfur clusters have occurred in the past year. These include a new structural …

The steroid hydroxylating system of adrenal cortex mitochondria consists of the membrane-
attached NADPH-dependent adrenodoxin reductase (AR), the soluble one-electron …

The availability of fixed nitrogen is a limiting factor in the net primary production of all
ecosystems. Diazotrophs overcome this limit through the conversion of atmospheric …

Under anaerobic conditions, several species of green algae perform a light-dependent
hydrogen production catalyzed by a special group of [FeFe] hydrogenases termed HydA …

In higher plant plastids, ferredoxin (Fd) is the unique soluble electron carrier protein located
in the stroma. Consequently, a wide variety of essential metabolic and signaling processes …

Ferredoxins are a group of iron–sulfur proteins for which a wealth of structural and
mutational data have recently become available. Previously unknown structures of …
