l Biological Information

Biochem/Physiol Actions

Ferredoxin-NADP₊ reductase catalyzes the reversible conversion of reduced ferredoxin to oxidized ferredoxin during photosynthesis. Ferredoxin-NADP(H) reductase constitutes a family of hydrophilic FAD-containing monomeric enzymes that deliver NADPH or low potential one-electron donors to redox-based metabolisms in plastids, mitochondria, and bacteria.

Application

Ferredoxin-NADP₊ Reductase was used in in vitro ferredoxin-dependent desaturation of fatty acids in cyanobacterial thylakoid membranes. It was also used to regulate glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.

Unit Definition

One unit will reduce 1.0 millimole of cytochrome C per min at pH 7.5 at 25 °C in the presence of spinach ferredoxin and NADP.
