The phrase
"electron donor" refers to a substance or element that gives away its electrons to another substance during a chemical reaction.
Full definition
Also called OXPHOS Complexes (Oxidative Phosphorylation) that make redox NADPH be used
as electron donor through ETC and allow mitochondria to produce cell energy ATP.
Years ago, Jetten and his team drew up a table chart with
available electron donors and acceptors, that should allow for the growth of — still unknown — microorganisms.
«This polymer turns blue when photo - irradiated in the presence of
certain electron donors in an oxygen - free environment,» said the scientists.
Methods: By applying whole - genome oligonucleotide microarray analysis of D. vulgaris and high - efficiency capillary liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry (LC - MS / MS), the group has investigated D. vulgaris grown on
various electron donors or under stress conditions.
The SSIP approach lets scientists track geochemical and mineralogical changes that occur
when electron donors, such as acetate, are added to groundwater to stimulate subsurface microbial activity.
A
powerful electron donor, this vitamin has the ability to contribute electrons to resurrect the form and function of estradiol (estrogen; E2), progesterone, testosterone, for instance.
Then they tested how well electrons travelled between
an electron donor on the inside and an iron - bearing mineral on the outside.
Results of recent field experiments show continuing removal of chromate from groundwater more than a year after modifying the subsurface with polylactate as
an electron donor.
They do this by amending the subsurface with
an electron donor — in this case, acetate — to form insoluble uranium, keeping it from going any farther and reaching the Colorado River.
Antioxidants are
electron donors that circulate through your bloodstream, and hand out electrons to quench dangerous free radicals in search of electrons.
Our results do not support that ortho / para directing groups are
electron donors and meta directing groups are electron acceptors.
