Hello, there,
In late '70s and early '80s, there were a number of reports about a iron-sulfur
species found in photosynthetic cyanobacteria (then called blue-green alga).
It shows an EPR signal of g=2.05, 1.92 at low temperature and has mid-point
potential of -270 mV (Cammack et al. 1979). It was found slightly later that
is was a membrane-bound NADH/NADPH dehydrogenase (Sandman & Malkin 1983).
I wonder if there is some expert in this area who can tell me whether the true
chemical identity of this component is known or not. Is it a [2Fe-2S] or
[4Fe-4S] cluster? Has the gene/protein been isolated/sequenced?
Thank you very much in advance.
