BioCyc:RXN0-6490
The redox potential is very speculative, but it should be less than for the MQ/MQ2 couple, if the overall electron transfer reaction for dihydroorotate dehydrogenase is supposed to proceed in E. coli.
OROTATE + 2 PROTON + 2 E- --> DI-H-OROTATE
Orotate[C5H4N2O4] + 2 H+[H] + 2 [] = (S)-Dihydroorotate[C5H6N2O4]
