Question

Reversible Oxidation of a Secondary Alcohol to a Ketone Many biochemical oxidation-reduction reactions involve transfer of two electrons In order to keep charges in balance, proton transfer often accompanies electron transfer In many dehydrogenases, the reaction proceeds by a stepwise transfers of proton (H+) and hydride (:H-) Lactate lactate dehydrogenase Pyruvate
