Determination of the amino acid sequence of adreno-ferredoxin from sheep adrenocortical mitochondria.
1. An adreno-ferredoxin was purified from sheep adrenocortical mitochondria. 2. Its amino acid composition and amino acid sequence were determined chemically. 3. It was found to be composed of 127 amino acid residues, including two tyrosyl residues. 4. The amino acid sequences of various ferredoxins of the two iron and two sulfur type were compared with respect to amino acid homology.
