Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+)
Coenzyme: Small, organic, non-protein molecule that carries a chemical group between enzymes (NAD+).
Is an electron carrier.
NADH ---→ NAD+ + H+ (Oxidation)
NAD+ + H+ ---→ NADH (Reduction)
When in NADH form, it holds 2 electrons which it can give off when oxidized:
NAD+ + H+ --→(2e-) NADH (Reduction)
NAD+ + H+ <--- NADH (Oxidation)
Need 2 negative charges to make NADH, hence the 2e-
