Abstract excerpt
Plant-type ferredoxins (Fds) carry a single [2Fe-2S] cluster and serve as electron acceptors of photosystem I (PSI). The ferredoxin from the thermophilic cyanobacterium Mastigocladus laminosus displays optimal activity at 65 degrees C. In order to reveal the molecular factors that confer thermostability, the crystal structure of M.laminosus Fd (mFd) was determined to 1.25 A resolution and subsequently analyzed in...
