    The electrochemical reduction of plant ferredoxin was studied using polarography. Results show the active center of ferredoxin is crucial for its polarographical reduction.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Electrochemistry
    • Plant Physiology

    Context:

    • Ferredoxins are vital electron carriers in photosynthesis and other metabolic pathways.
    • Understanding their electrochemical properties is key to elucidating their biological functions.
    • Polarography offers a sensitive method for studying redox-active biomolecules.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the polarographical reduction of higher plant ferredoxin.
    • To determine the electrochemical parameters and reaction mechanism.
    • To assess the role of the active center in the reduction process.

    Summary:

    • Polarographical analysis revealed a reversible wave for ferredoxin reduction at E1/2 = -0.61 V (N.C.E.) at pH 7.
    • Protein absorption significantly impacts the electrochemical reduction, with protons participating in the electrode reaction.
