Electron transfer proteins facilitate the movement of electrons in biological systems and play crucial roles in processes like energy production and metabolism. These proteins transfer electrons between donors and acceptors, enabling ATP synthesis. Examples include cytochromes, iron-sulfur proteins, flavoproteins, and copper proteins. Cytochromes contain heme groups and participate in electron transport, while iron-sulfur proteins contain iron-sulfur clusters. Flavoproteins contain flavin cofactors that undergo redox reactions, and copper proteins transfer electrons using copper ions. Studying electron transfer proteins provides insights into fundamental biological processes and diseases.
