In enzymology, a ferredoxin-NADP + reductase (EC 1.18.1.2) abbreviated FNR, is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction 2 reduced ferredoxin + NADP + + H + ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } 2 oxidized ferredoxin + NADPH
NADPH can also be generated through pathways unrelated to carbon metabolism. The ferredoxin reductase is such an example. Nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase transfers the hydrogen between NAD(P)H and NAD(P) +, and is found in eukaryotic mitochondria and many bacteria. There are versions that depend on a proton gradient to work and ones ...
The systematic name of this enzyme class is acyl-CoA:NADP+ 2-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include 2-enoyl-CoA reductase , dehydrogenase, acyl coenzyme A (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide , phosphate) , enoyl coenzyme A reductase , crotonyl coenzyme A reductase , crotonyl-CoA reductase , and acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (NADP+) .
In enzymology, a glyoxylate reductase (NADP +) (EC 1.1.1.79) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction glycolate + NADP + ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } glyoxylate + NADPH + H + Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are glycolate and NADP + , whereas its 3 products are glyoxylate , NADPH , and H + .
In biochemistry, an oxidoreductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of electrons from one molecule, the reductant, also called the electron donor, to another, the oxidant, also called the electron acceptor.
A biological coenzyme that acts as an electron carrier in enzymatic reactions. NADP is a reducing agent in anabolic reactions like the Calvin cycle and lipid and nucleic acid syntheses. NADP exists in two forms: NADP+, the oxidized form, and NADPH, the reduced form.
This category groups enzymes that use nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADP + and its reduced form, NADPH) in redox reactions. See also Category:NADH-dependent enzymes.. In general, the NADP is not stably associated with the enzyme, being a coenzyme; hence, we call such enzymes "NADPH-dependent" enzymes, rather than simply "NADPH enzymes".
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on iron-sulfur proteins as donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme is ferredoxin:NAD + oxidoreductase. There are a variety of names in common use: ferredoxin–nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide reductase; ferredoxin reductase
