How Do Dehydrogenases Function

Question

How do dehydrogenases function?
A)They remove a pair of hydrogen atoms from the substrate.
B)They remove a pair of proton atoms from the substrate.
C)They transfer the kinetic energy from glucose to NAD⁺.
D)They facilitate the fall of electrons down an energy gradient from glucose to NAD⁺.
E)They reduce substrate to produce oxidized NADH.

Accepted Answer

Dehydrogenases function by removing a pair of hydrogen atoms from the substrate, which is the process of oxidation. This results in the production of reduced coenzymes such as NADH and FADH2.
