| UniProt functional annotation for P24297 | |||
| UniProt code: P24297. |
| Organism: | Pyrococcus furiosus (strain ATCC 43587 / DSM 3638 / JCM 8422 / Vc1). | |
| Taxonomy: | Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Thermococci; Thermococcales; Thermococcaceae; Pyrococcus. | |
| Function: | Rubredoxin is a small nonheme, iron protein lacking acid- labile sulfide. Its single Fe, chelated to 4 Cys, functions as an electron acceptor and may also stabilize the conformation of the molecule. | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Fe(3+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29034; Note=Binds 1 Fe(3+) ion per subunit.; | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | Temperature dependence: Extremely thermostable, being unaffected after incubation for 24 hours at 95 degrees Celsius.; | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the rubredoxin family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
