Term Name: pyruvate synthase activity
Synonyms: PFOR, pyruvate oxidoreductase activity, pyruvate synthetase activity, pyruvate-ferredoxin reductase activity, pyruvate:ferredoxin 2-oxidoreductase (CoA-acetylating), pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase activity, pyruvic-ferredoxin oxidoreductase activity
Definition: Catalysis of the reaction: pyruvate + CoA + 2 oxidized ferredoxin = acetyl-CoA + CO2 + 2 reduced ferredoxin + 2 H+.
