1.5.8.2 trimethylamine + H2O + electron-transfer flavoprotein = dimethylamine + formaldehyde + reduced electron-transfer flavoprotein A number of alkyl-substituted derivates of trimethylamine can also act as electron donors. Phenazine methosulfate and 2,6-dichloroindophenol can act as electron acceptors - 1.5.8.2 trimethylamine + H2O + electron-transfer flavoprotein = dimethylamine + formaldehyde + reduced electron-transfer flavoprotein detailed reaction mechanism 654971 1.5.8.2 trimethylamine + H2O + electron-transfer flavoprotein = dimethylamine + formaldehyde + reduced electron-transfer flavoprotein redox mediation mechanism, overview 654192
