2 reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + plastoquinone + 6 H+[side 1] = 2 oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + plastoquinol + 7 H+[side 2] | proposed models for the electron-transfer mechanism of NDH, overview. NDH could possess several electron transfer routes, which would serve to maximize plastoquinone reduction and avoid deleterious off-target chemistry of the semi-plastoquinone radical | Thermosynechococcus vestitus |

More | NDH adopts an L-shaped structure that is characteristic of respiratory NADH dehydrogenase complexes. NDH possesses 11 of the 14 core complex I subunits, as well as several oxygenic-photosynthesis-specific (OPS) subunits that are conserved from cyanobacteria to plants. However, the three core complex I subunits that are involved in accepting electrons from NAD(P)H are notably absent in NDH. OPS subunits NdhO and NdhS and the beta-hairpin of core subunit NdhI, surface model, structure-function analysis, overview | Thermosynechococcus vestitus |

physiological function | cyclic electron flow around photosystem I (PSI) is a mechanism by which photosynthetic organisms balance the levels of ATP and NADPH necessary for efficient photosynthesis. NAD(P)H dehydrogenase-like complex (NDH) is a key component of this pathway in most oxygenic photosynthetic organisms and is the last large photosynthetic membrane-protein complex. NDH transfers electrons originating from PSI to the plastoquinone pool while pumping protons across the thylakoid membrane, thereby increasing the amount of ATP produced per NADP+ molecule reduced. Mechanism of NDH acquiring and transfering electrons to plastoquinone, overview. The location of the OPS subunits supports a role in electron transfer and defines two potential ferredoxin-binding sites at the apex of the peripheral arm. NDH could possess several electron transfer routes, which would serve to maximize plastoquinone reduction and avoid deleterious off-target chemistry of the semi-plastoquinone radical | Thermosynechococcus vestitus |
