Oxidation Numbers in the Study of Metabolism
Bentley, Ronald; Franzen, James; Chasteen, Thomas G.
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, v30 n5 p288-292 Sep 2002
The calculation and use of oxidation numbers in the study of metabolic reactions are discussed for normal oxidations (alcohol dehydrogenase and the NAD+/NADH couple, propanediol dehydratase) and for enzymatic reactions with a "hidden" redox component (transamination, the coupled conversion of ethylamine to ethanol, and the biomethylation of arsenic and selenium). (Contains 6 schemes.)
