Origin and Evolution of Flavin-Based Electron Bifurcating Enzymes

Origin and Evolution of Flavin-Based Electron Bifurcating Enzymes

Twelve evolutionarily unrelated oxidoreductases form enzyme complexes that catalyze the simultaneous coupling of exergonic and endergonic oxidation–reduction reactions to circumvent thermodynamic barriers and minimize free energy loss in a process known as flavin-based electron bifurcation. Common t...
