Abstract
specific, which may aid in redox cofactor balance. Such beneficial metabolic flexibility facilitated the regulation of metabolic pathways giving survival/fitness advantages in dynamic environments. Additionally, multiple genes allowed the distribution of function among these isoforms where the primary function was allocated to one of the isoforms.
