Microbial Electron Transport Chain Components

Molecular classification: Enzyme complex, Redox enzyme, Electron carrier

Overview

Microbial electron transport chain components are a diverse group of proteins and cofactors embedded in the cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria and archaea. They mediate the transfer of electrons from electron donors to terminal electron acceptors, generating a proton motive force that drives ATP synthesis. Targeting these components can disrupt bacterial energy metabolism and represents a potential strategy for developing new antibiotics.
