Uses
Ferredoxin-NADP
+ Reductase from
Spinacia oleracea (spinach) has been used to test the effect of potential protein partners on the activity of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH)?CP12 preparation. It has also been used in standard assay conditions for phycocyanobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PcyA) enzyme assay.
General Description
Ferredoxin-NADP
+ Reductase is a ferredoxin-soluble partner with a molar ratio to PSI of 0.9 and 3.
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.
