Contains a diiron center. Involved in the biosynthesis of alkanes. The enzyme from the cyanobacterium Nostoc punctiforme PCC 73102 is only active in vitro in the presence of ferredoxin, ferredoxin reductase and NADPH, and produces mostly C15 and C17 alkanes [2,3]. The enzyme from pea (Pisum sativum) produces alkanes of chain length C18 to C32 and is inhibited by metal-chelating agents . The substrate for this enzyme is formed by EC 1.2.1.80, acyl-[acyl-carrier protein] reductase.

The enzyme from pea (Pisum sativum) produces alkanes of chain length C18 to C32 and is inhibited by metal-chelating agents [1].

the endogenous electron transfer system works more effectively than the heterologous and chemical ones, e.g. phenazine methosulfate or 1-methyoxy-5-methylphenazinium methylsulfate and NADH, overview
ferredoxin-mediated the cytochrome c reduction with ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase: ADO is selective against ferredoxin and the interaction between ferredoxin and ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase is very important for efficient electron transfer and ADO activity
