Purification and structural characterization of the Na+-translocating ferredoxin: NAD+ reductase (Rnf) complex of Clostridium tetanomorphum

Rnf reversibly reduces NAD+ by ferredoxin coupled with Na+/H+ pumping for microbial ion gradient or reduced ferredoxin formation. Here, a cryo-EM structure provides information about the participating iron and flavin cofactors, the electron transfer route and the putative Na+ passage.
