Novel zinc-binding centre in thermoacidophilic archaeal ferredoxins

Nature Structural Biology volume 3, pages 834–837 (1996)Cite this article

The crystal structure of ferredoxin from Sulfolobus species strain 7 reveals a novel zinc-binding centre that may play an important role in stabilizing the protein and may be common to thermoacidophilic archaeal ferredoxins.
