Definition:
EC Tree > 1 Oxidoreductases > 1.7 Acting on other nitrogenous compounds as donors > 1.7.7 With an iron-sulfur protein as acceptor > 1.7.7.2 ferredoxin-nitrate reductase
Ferredoxin-nitrate reductase is a molybdenum-iron-sulfur protein that oxidizes nitrite back to nitrate using oxidized ferredoxin as electron acceptor, coupled to proton release; it occurs in bacteria and archaea and participates in anaerobic nitrate respiration.
