Biological Oxidation-Reduction Reactions and Coenzymes
Explore the fascinating world of biological oxidation-reduction reactions catalyzed by oxidoreductases. Coenzymes play a crucial role in these processes, facilitating the transfer of hydrogen atoms. NAD+ is a well-known coenzyme involved in accepting and donating hydrogen. Witness the oxidation of ethanol and learn about key compounds like Coenzyme A, garlic, and resveratrol. Dive into the mechanism of oxidation in living systems, converting C6H12O6 and O2 into CO2, H2O, and energy. Delve into the significance of dihydroxyacetone in biochemical pathways.
