Comments BNID 104413 gives value of +430mV. Consideration of the dentrification systems reveals that the topological organisation of the electron transport system has to be elucidated in order to understand energy conservation. The standard reduction potentials for the four N-oxide couples are: nitrate/nitrite +420 mV, nitrite/nitric oxide +375 mV, nitric oxide/nitrous oxide + 1175 mV and nitrous oxide/nitrogen + 1355 mV.
