What is it about?
This page belongs to the bioRxiv preprint of a study that has since been peer reviewed and published. The published version is the one to cite and the one carrying the full explanation, and it is available at doi.org/10.1021/acs.jcim.5c00746. The work asks how a NOX enzyme keeps moving electrons across a membrane at a steady rate when the membrane's own electrical character varies. The answer is that the charge distribution inside the protein rebalances itself: a shift in one component is largely compensated by the rest of the surroundings, so the electron transfer stays favourable rather than being thrown off. Please follow the link above for the complete account.

Why is it important?
Preprints and their published versions carry separate identifiers, so they appear as separate records in indexes and reference managers. This note exists so that anyone arriving at the preprint is sent to the version of record rather than reading an earlier draft and citing it.
Perspectives
We are keeping this page as a signpost rather than duplicating the explanation across two entries. Everything worth saying about this study is said on the published version.
