In enzymology, an iron—cytochrome-c reductase (created 1972 as , transferred 2014 to ) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction ferrocytochrome c + Fe3+ ferricytochrome c + Fe2+ Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ferrocytochrome c and Fe3+, whereas its two products are ferricytochrome c and Fe2+. Classification This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on a heme group of donors with other acceptors. Nomenclature The systematic name of this enzyme class is ferrocytochrome-c:Fe3+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called iron-cytochrome c reductase. Structure and function This enzyme is part of the electron transport system of Ferrobacillus ferrooxidans. It employs one cofactor, iron. References EC 1.9.98 Iron enzymes Enzymes of unknown structure
