Okay, so nad plus is a co -factor, and i've drawn out the structure here, so we have ned plus, and it's often used in metabolism reactions, and it gains electrons, and it turns into nadh.
00:23
So whenever we see a reaction where electrons are exchanged, so there's a loss of electrons and a gain of electrons, this is what we call.
00:34
A oxidation reduction reaction.
00:37
So i'm just going to put ox reduction.
00:44
This is the general reaction that nad plus usually takes place in.
00:52
So i'm just going to go ahead and put a little square around that.
00:54
So in this case, nad plus is reduced because it gains electrons.

And you can remember that by this handy little oil rig...
