فردوکسین

Also known as ferredoxins

Ferredoxins (from Latin ferrum: iron + redox, often abbreviated "fd") are iron–sulfur proteins that mediate electron transfer in a range of metabolic reactions. They contain iron and sulfur atoms organized as iron–sulfur clusters. These biomolecules accept or discharge electrons, with the effect of a change in the oxidation state of the iron atoms between +2 and +3, letting them act as electron transfer agents in biological redox reactions.
