Abstract
The redox potentials of flavodoxins from the cyanobacteria Synechococcus PCC 6301 (formerly Anacystis nidulans) and Nostoc strain MAC, and from the red alga Chondrus crispus, were determined by potentiometric titration. For the oxidized-semiquinone interconversion the potentials at pH 7.0 of the three flavodoxins were between −210 and −235 mV, and these were pH-dependent over the range pH 6.9-8.2. For the semiquinone-reduced interconversion the potentials of the cyanobacterial flavodoxins were close to −414 mV, and that for the algal flavodoxin, −370 mV, is the highest reported in this group of flavoproteins.
