Abstract
Two proteins showing chloroplast ferredoxin activity were separated by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography of an extract of the blue-green alga Anacystis nidulans. One of the proteins was identified as a chloroplast-type ferredoxin. The other protein, named phytoflavin, could not be identified with either a chloroplast - or a bacterial-type ferredoxin. It catalyzed the photoreduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate by washed chloroplasts in the absence of added ferredoxin. The flavin component of phytoflavin adenine mononucleotide.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
