Mycofactocin and the mycobacterial electron transport chain [PDF]

eLife
In the bacterium M. smegmatis, an enzyme called MftG allows the cofactor mycofactocin to transfer electrons released during ethanol metabolism to the electron transport chain.

Dysfunctional Electron Transport Chain Assembly in COXPD8 [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency type 8 (COXPD8) is an autosomal recessive mitochondrial disorder caused by a mutation of the nuclear encoded mitochondrial alanyl-tRNA synthetase gene (AARS2). Clinical manifestations of COXPD8 include lethal

Chemically Mediated Artificial Electron Transport Chain

ACS Central Science
Electron transport chains (ETCs) are ubiquitous in nearly all living systems. Replicating the complexity and control inherent in these multicomponent systems using ensembles of small molecules opens up promising avenues for molecular therapeutics, catalyst design, and the development of innovative energy conversion and storage systems. Here, we present

Determinants of photochemical characteristics of the photosynthetic electron transport chain of maize [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
IntroductionThe photosynthetic electron transport chain (ETC) is the bridge that links energy harvesting during the photophysical reactions at one end and energy consumption during the biochemical reactions at the other.

Rhodoquinone carries electrons in the mammalian electron transport chain. [PDF]

Cell
Ubiquinone (UQ), the only known electron carrier in the mammalian electron transport chain (ETC), preferentially delivers electrons to the terminal electron acceptor oxygen (O2). In hypoxia, ubiquinol (UQH2) diverts these electrons onto fumarate instead.

ETMB-RBF: discrimination of metal-binding sites in electron transporters based on RBF networks with PSSM profiles and significant amino acid pairs. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: Cellular respiration is the process by which cells obtain energy from glucose and is a very important biological process in living cell. As cells do cellular respiration, they need a pathway to store and transport electrons, the electron ...

Deletion of Von Willebrand A Domain Containing Protein (VWA8) raises activity of mitochondrial electron transport chain complexes in hepatocytes

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2021
VWA8 (Von Willebrand A Domain Containing Protein 8) is a AAA+ ATPase that is localized to the mitochondrial matrix and is widely expressed in highly energetic tissues.
