| PF18267 | Rubredoxin NAD+ reductase C-terminal domain | domain |
This is the C-terminal domain of NADH rubredoxin oxidoreductase present in Clostridium acetobutylicum. The majority of obligatory anaerobes detoxify micro-aerobic environments by consuming O2 via H2O-forming NADH oxidase. This enzyme offers an alternate reaction pathway for scavenging of O2 and reactive oxygen species, wherein the reducing equivalent is obtained from NADH [1].
