Abstract excerpt
Plant type ferredoxin (Fd) is a small [2Fe-2S] cluster containing electron-transfer protein with a highly negative redox potential. Higher plants contain different iso-protein types of Fd in roots and leaves, reflecting the difference in redox cascades between these two tissues. We have combined subdomains of leaf and root Fds in recombinant chimeras, to examine structural effects and the relationship between...
