Abstract

In the experiments with reaction center modification of ferredoxin its participation in reduction has been shown. Polarographic characteristics of ferredoxin and apoferredoxin have been compared. While removing iron and labile sulphur from ferredoxin reaction center the reduction wave of Fe-S bonds with E 1/2 = -0.33 V (N. H. E.) transforms into the reduction wave of S-S bonds with E 1/2 = -0,39 V at pH = 7.
