Studies on Protein Electron Carrier Complexes Adrenodoxin Reductase - Adrenodoxin Complex in Steroid Biosynthesis

  • Chapter
Frontiers of Multifunctional Nanosystems

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 57))

Abstract

Electron-transfer reactions are characteristic features of a variety of fundamental biological processes that include energy metabolism, hormone biosynthesis and xenobiotic detoxification. For the proteins, involved in these processes, the active site is comprised of a metal center (most frequently Fe) as well as of organic cofactors (flavins, quinones). The great interest directed towards understanding of the biological electron-transfer processes in recent years reflects the importance of metabolic processes in which electron transfer is involved.
