Descriptor flavodoxina
Scope note: Flavoproteína sin hierro de bajo peso molecular (16.000) que contiene una molécula de flavin mononucleótido (FMN) y aislada de bacterias crecidas en un medio deficiente en hierro. Puede sustituir a la ferredoxina en todas las funciones de transferencia de electrones en las que se sabe que ésta sirve en las células bacterianas.

Scope note: A low-molecular-weight (16,000) iron-free flavoprotein containing one molecule of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and isolated from bacteria grown on an iron-deficient medium. It can replace ferredoxin in all the electron-transfer functions in which the latter is known to serve in bacterial cells.
