NATE-0256
Description
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.
