In enzymology a ferredoxin—nitrate reductase (EC 1.7.7.2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionnitrite + H2O + 2 oxidized ferredoxin nitrate + 2 reduced ferredoxin + 2 H+The 3 substrates of this enzyme are nitrite H2O and oxidized ferredoxin whereas its 3 products are nitrate reduced ferredoxin and H+.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on other nitrogenous compounds as donors with an iron-sulfur protein as acceptor.
