Ferredoxins (from Latin ferrum: iron + redox, often abbreviated `fd`) are iron-sulfur proteins that mediate electron transfer in a range of metabolic reactions. The term `ferredoxin` was coined by D.C. Wharton of the DuPont Co. and applied to the `iron protein` first purified in 1962 by Mortenson, Valentine, and Carnahan from the anaerobic b...
