Term Name: respiratory electron transport chain
Synonyms: 6-phosphofructokinase reduction, dihydrobiopterin reduction, dihydrolipoamide reduction, dihydrolipoylprotein reduction, dihydropteridine reduction, electron transfer, other pathways of electron transport, oxidized glutathione reduction, protein-disulfide reduction
Definition: A process in which a series of electron carriers operate together to transfer electrons from donors such as NADH and FADH2 to any of several different terminal electron acceptors to generate a transmembrane electrochemical gradient.
