Changes upon oxidation-reduction of ferredoxin I (7fd1, 7fdr) from Azotobacter vinelandii

• What structural elements are present in the protein?
• What is the subunit composition?
• What is the coordination geometry about the metal centers?
• What is the distance between metal centers and ligands?
• What changes have occurred upon oxidation-reduction? Hint: You will need to align the structures and look at the orientation of amino acid residues.
