Correction to: Nature Reviews Bioengineering https://doi.org/10.1038/s44222-024-00233-x, published online 5 September 2024.

In the version of the article initially published, in Fig. 1b and 2b, “Quinone reductase” should have read “Quinone oxidoreductase”. Additionally, in the middle panel in Fig. 1b, the directions of the arrows between “Q” and “QH2” were reversed; the left arrow now points from “Q” to “QH2” and the right arrow points from “QH2” to “Q”. These corrections have been made to the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
