Mycofactocin and the mycobacterial electron transport chain [PDF]
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.

Mitochondrial electron transport chain is necessary for NLRP3 inflammasome activation. [PDF]
The NLRP3 inflammasome is linked to sterile and pathogen-dependent inflammation, and its dysregulation underlies many chronic diseases. Mitochondria have been implicated as regulators of the NLRP3 inflammasome through several mechanisms including ...

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