'''Ferredoxin NADP<sup>+</sup> reductase''' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferredoxin—NADP(%2B)_reductase] is an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of NADP<sup>+</sup> 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<sup>+</sup> or NADP<sup>+</sup> as electron acceptors. FAD, [flavin adenine dinucleotide][http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavin_adenine_dinucleotide], is also a cofactor of FNR. The ferredoxin NADP<sup>+</sup> reductase participates in a general reaction that proceeds as follows: | '''Ferredoxin NADP<sup>+</sup> reductase''' [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferredoxin—NADP(%2B)_reductase] is an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of NADP<sup>+</sup> to NADPH.
