Abstract

- Electron bifurcation is the third fundamental mechanism of energy conservation.
- Electron bifurcation combines endergonic and exergonic oxidation-reduction reactions.
- Electron bifurcating enzymes have multiple redox centers.
- Electron gating is required to parse electrons between redox reactions.
- Electron bifurcating enzymes manage single and pairwise electron transfer reactions.
