ferredoxin NADP+ reductase [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferredoxin—NADP(%2B)_reductase] is an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH. This enzyme belongs to a family of enzymes called oxidoreductases[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidoreductase] that contain iron-sulfur proteins as electron donors and NAD+ or NADP+ as electron acceptors. FAD, [flavin adenine dinucleotide][http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavin_adenine_dinucleotide], is also a cofactor of FNR. The ferredoxin NADP+ reductase participates in a general reaction that proceeds as follows: | ferredoxin NADP+ reductase [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferredoxin—NADP(%2B)_reductase] is an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH.
