Abstract
Pyrococcus furiosus ferredoxin is subject to a monomer/dimer equilibrium as a function of ionic strength. At physiological ionic strength, approximately 0.35 M NaCl, the protein is very predominantly homodimer. The monomeric form exhibits impaired electron transfer on glassy carbon; it also has a decreased S=3/2 over S=1/2 ratio as shown by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Even following sterilization at 121 degrees C the dimer is stable in denaturing gel electrophoresis.Entities:
