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

The 2009 ESBOC meeting covered advances in synthesis, biosynthesis and biological mechanisms of vitamins and cofactors. Recent exciting developments in the field include the development of 'green ...

To continue with catalysis in cofactor-independent oxygenases, the caged radicals recombine to form a peroxide intermediate. After these common steps, the peroxide or hydroperoxide can react in ...

Its production takes place in the unique catalytic center of the unicellular algae and is only possible if certain cofactors of the relevant proteins are present. Researchers at Ruhr University ...
