'''Quinone reductase type 1 (QR1)''' reduces quinines to the non-toxic hydroquinone. '''Quinone reductase type 2 (QR2)''' catalyzes the reduction of adrenochrome. The '''sulfide-quinone reductase (SQR)''' reduces sulfide and thus provides electrons for phototropic processes in bacteria. '''NADPH-quinone reductase (NQR)''' catalyzes the reduction of quinone to semiquinone. See [[Electron Transport & Oxidative Phosphorylation]]. | '''Quinone reductase type 1 (QR1)''' reduces quinines to the non-toxic hydroquinone.
