= Electron bifurcation
{wiki=Electron_bifurcation}
Electron bifurcation is a biochemical process that refers to the ability of certain enzymes to utilize a single electron to drive two separate exergonic (energy-releasing) reactions, effectively coupling them in a way that allows the enzyme to perform work that would not be possible through conventional mechanisms. This process is particularly relevant in bioenergetics and metabolism, as it allows organisms to conserve energy in a more efficient manner.
