OxidationThe oxidation can be performed by either release of hydrogen or addition of oxygen. NAD+ is oxidized and it can become reduced NADH. Yes, they are. Actually no, they are not, because electrons are not hydrogens. During redox reactions electrons are transferred. The ...

Oxidation... the biological oxidation. It is performed by the release of hydrogen instead of addition oxygen, right? And hydrogen acts as a proton. So why is NAD reduced instead of oxidized when it becomes positive? And following this logic, in biological oxidation are reducers donors, and oxidisers - acceptors ...

What's the chemical reaction catalysed by nitrate reductase?... difference in energy released as per this chart http://i.imgur.com/ug3uF.png . I assume that in aerobic organisms the chemical reaction would be (NADH + H + 1/2O2) -> (NAD+ + H2O) but how does this work with nitrite reductase in anaerobic respiration?
