Proton magnetic resonance spectra at 500 MHz are reported for the oxidized and reduced forms of the 2[4Fe-4S]-ferredoxin from Clostridium pasteurianum. The reduced protein showed additional peaks in the 10-60 ppm region, which were previously unobserved, and there were significant differences between oxidized and reduced states in the whole region. The electron exchange rate in partially reduced ferredoxin is slow on the n.m.r. time scale when reduced with sodium dithionite, but fast when zinc reduced methyl viologen is used as reducing agent. We explain the difference between fast and slow exchange as being due to the different chemical properties of the two reducing agents.

D009682 Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Spectroscopic method of measuring the magnetic moment of elementary particles such as atomic nuclei, protons or electrons. It is employed in clinical applications such as NMR Tomography (MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING).

D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D003013 Clostridium A genus of motile or nonmotile gram-positive bacteria of the family Clostridiaceae. Many species have been identified with some being pathogenic. They occur in water, soil, and in the intestinal tract of humans and lower animals.
D004579 Electron Transport The process by which ELECTRONS are transported from a reduced substrate to molecular OXYGEN. (From Bennington, Saunders Dictionary and Encyclopedia of Laboratory Medicine and Technology, 1984, p270) Respiratory Chain,Chain, Respiratory,Chains, Respiratory,Respiratory Chains,Transport, Electron
D005288 Ferredoxins Iron-containing proteins that transfer electrons, usually at a low potential, to flavoproteins; the iron is not present as in heme. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 5th ed) Ferredoxin,Ferredoxin I,Ferredoxin II,Ferredoxin III
