General Biology I
FAD, or flavin adenine dinucleotide, is a redox cofactor involved in several important metabolic reactions, acting as an electron carrier. It plays a crucial role in the oxidation of pyruvate and the citric acid cycle, facilitating the transfer of electrons and protons during these processes. FAD exists in two forms: the oxidized form (FAD) and the reduced form (FADH₂), which carries electrons to the electron transport chain for ATP production.
congrats on reading the definition of FAD. now let's actually learn it.
