G = nf e: nernst equation is used to calculate what the reduction potential of compounds would be in any state other than biochemical standard state ln. Nad+/nadh: nad+ can be reduced to nadh, hydride ion (h+) is added/removed from nad+/nadh in the reaction by. It is made of 2 nucleotides and is derived from vitamin b3 dehydrogenase enzyme. It has a low affinity for electrons and therefore is reduced by us eating food with compounds that have an even lower affinity for electrons. It is the first electron acceptor in metabolism. Cytochromes: cytochromes have protein and heme group with iron in centre, there are various types of cytochromes with slightly different structures and.
