Question

Reaction given below is catalysed by oxidoreductase between two substrates A and A’, complete the reaction.
A reduced + A' oxidised $\to$

Answer 1

Oxidoreductases enzymes

Oxidoreductases are the group/ class of enzymes that catalyze the oxidation-reduction reaction which involves the transfer of electrons/ H${}^{+}$ from one molecule to another. In these reactions, one compound is oxidised and the other is reduced.

A reduced + A' oxidised $\to$ A oxidised + A' reduced

Few examples of oxidoreductase enzymes are dehydrogenase, peroxidase etc.

Example

Alcohol + NAD${}^{+}$ → Aldehyde + NADH${}_2$

Final answer

A reduced + A' oxidised $\to$ A oxidised + A' reduced
