Which of the following is an oxidized form of a redox cofactor?
a. FAD+
b. NADP
c. FADH
d. NAD+
e. NADH
d) NAD+
NADH ( Nicotene amide dinucleotide) is a cofathat iscis central to metabolism.NAD is called dinucleotid because it consists of two nucleotide join through phosphate groups.
NAD+ accepts a hydrogen ion and 2 electrons and reduced to NADH.NADH moves to electron transport chain and donate a pair of electrons( oxidized) to the first compound in the chain.
NADH function as an oxidative factor in eukaryotic cell.NADH play a key role in production of energy through redox reactions.NAD serves as a cofactor for dehydrogenase,reductases, hydroxylasesmaking it major carrier of Hydrogen and electron in ,major metabolic pathways such as glycolysis , tricarboxylic acid cycle,fatty acid synthesis,steroid synthesis etc.
