Summary Introduction

To review:

The function of oxidoreductase in the electron transport chain and the reason for indirect interaction between oxidoreductase and cytochrome complex.

Introduction:

A series of complexes that transfer an electron from electron donors to the electron acceptors through reduction and oxidation reactions (redox reactions), and couple the electron transfer with the proton transfer on the other side of the membrane is known as electron transport chain. This transport chain generates an electrochemical proton gradient that controls the synthesis of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
