On the Natural History of Flavin-Based Electron Bifurcation

On the Natural History of Flavin-Based Electron Bifurcation

Electron bifurcation is here described as a special case of the continuum of electron transfer reactions accessible to two-electron redox compounds with redox cooperativity. We argue that electron bifurcation is foremost an electrochemical phenomenon based on (a) strongly inverted redox potentials o...
