dehüdrogenaas
Dehüdrogenās (also spelled dehydrogenase) are a class of enzymes that catalyze the removal of hydrogen atoms from substrates, typically in oxidation-reduction reactions. These enzymes play a crucial role in various metabolic pathways, including cellular respiration, fermentation, and other biochemical processes involving energy production.
Dehydrogenases function by transferring electrons from specific substrates to electron acceptors, often NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)
These enzymes are classified based on the substrates they act upon. For example, alcohol dehydrogenase catalyzes
Structurally, dehydrogenases exhibit diverse configurations tailored to their specific functions. They often contain binding sites for
In summary, dehüdrogenās are essential enzymes involved in oxidation-reduction reactions, contributing to energy metabolism and overall
