title: Structural and evolution of chloroplast- and bacterial-type ferredoxins.
abstract: Comparisons have been made between amino acid sequences of 26 chloroplast-type ferredoxins and 16 bacterial-type ferredoxins. Their structural characteristics are described and related to a three-dimensional structure of a chloroplast-type ferredoxin. Aspects of molecular evolution of these ferredoxins are presented together with a phylogenetic tree including both chloroplast- and bacterial-type ferredoxins.
