The amyloid precursor protein (APP) can be modulated by the binding of copper and zinc ions. Both ions bind with low nanomolar affinities to both subdomains (E1 and E2) in the extracellular domain of APP. However, the impact of ion binding on structural and mechanical trans-dimerization properties is yet unclear.

Microaerophilic pathogens such as Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica, and Trichomonas vaginalis have robust oxygen consumption systems to detoxify oxygen and maintain intracellular redox balance. This oxygen consumption results from HO-forming NADH oxidase (NOX) activity of two distinct flavin-containing systems: HO-forming NOXes and multicomponent flavodiiron proteins (FDPs). Neither system is membrane bound, and both recycle NADH into oxidized NAD while simultaneously removing O from the local environment.
