An electrogenic redox loop in sulfate reduction reveals a likely widespread mechanism of energy conservation
The bacterial complex QrcABCD plays a key role in the bioenergetics of sulfate respiration. Here, Duarte et al. show that this complex is electrogenic, with protons and electrons required for quinone reduction being extracted from opposite sides of the membrane.
