Biological Chemistry I
NAD+ (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in all living cells that plays a critical role in metabolism by acting as an electron carrier in redox reactions. It is involved in transferring electrons during cellular respiration, particularly in the citric acid cycle, and is essential for energy production in biological systems. The ability of NAD+ to accept electrons and be reduced to NADH makes it vital for many metabolic pathways, linking various biochemical processes.
congrats on reading the definition of NAD+. now let's actually learn it.
