title: Identical amino acid sequence of ferredoxin from Datura metel and D. innoxia.
abstract: The complete amino acid sequence of the respective [2Fe-2S] ferredoxins from Datura metel (D. alba) and D. innoxia, have been determined by automated Edman degradation of the entire Cm-protein and of the peptides obtained by tryptic digestion and CNBr treatment. The ferredoxins from the two plants had an identical amino acid sequence, suggesting a very close taxonomic relationship between the two. This is the first report for the identical primary structure of Fds from different species of higher plants.
