Identify the correct statement regarding NAD+ NAD+ can take part in only 2 electron oxidations NAD+ can take part in either one or two electron oxidations. NAD+ accepts two hydrogen atoms when going from its oxidized to the reduced form. Redox reactions involving NAD+ occurs at the adenosine group of the molecule.
