Type: | Domain | Name: | Rubredoxin domain |
Description: | Rubredoxin is a low molecular weight iron-containing bacterial protein involved in electron transfer [, ], sometimes replacing ferredoxin as an electron carrier []. Rubredoxins possess a 45- to 55-residue domain containing one iron atom tetrahedrally coordinated to four cysteinyl residues. Structural analysis of the domains have shown them to be folded into a short three-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet and a number of loops [, , , ]. This entry represents the rubredoxin domain. | Short Name: | Rubredoxin_dom |
