  "term": "Rubredoxin",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A small, non-heme iron protein found in anaerobic bacteria and archaea, characterized by a single iron atom coordinated by four cysteine thiolates in a tetrahedral geometry. This iron-sulfur cluster participates in electron transfer reactions within the cell. Rubredoxins typically have a molecular weight of about 6 kDa and exhibit characteristic absorption spectra.",
