Flavin-based electron bifurcation, a new mechanism of biological energy coupling
W Buckel, RK Thauer - Chemical reviews, 2018 - ACS Publications
There are two types of electron bifurcation (EB), either quinone-or flavin-based
(QBEB/FBEB), that involve reduction of a quinone or flavin by a two-electron transfer and two …
