Abstract excerpt
Cyanidioschyzon merolae (Cm) is a single cell red algae that grows in rather thermophilic (40-50°C) and acidic (pH 1-3) conditions. Ferredoxin (Fd) was purified from this algae and characterized as a plant-type [2Fe-2S] Fd by physicochemical techniques. A high resolution (0.97Å) three-dimensional structure of the CmFd D58N mutant molecule has been determined using the Fe-SAD phasing method to clarify the precise...
