Abstract excerpt
Ferredoxin:thioredoxin reductase (FTR) is a key regulatory enzyme of oxygenic photosynthetic cells involved in the reductive regulation of important target enzymes. It catalyzes the two-electron reduction of the disulfide of thioredoxins with electrons from ferredoxin involving a 4Fe-4S cluster and an adjacent active-site disulfide. We replaced Cys-57, Cys-87, and His-86 in the active site of Synechocystis FTR by...
