Abstract
Ferredoxin from Bacillus polymyxa contains (per mole) four non-heme iron residues, four acid-labile sulfide residues, and four cysteine residues. Its molecular weight is approximately 8,800, and it has an oxidation-reduction potential (Em) of −390 mv. It is active as an electron carrier in several ferredoxin-linked enzyme systems.
