Oxidoreductase Enzyme

An Oxidoreductase Enzyme is a enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of electrons from one molecule (the reductant/electron donor) to another (the oxidant/electron acceptor).

Example(s):
- Dehydrogenase.
- Catalase.
- ...

- In biochemistry, an oxidoreductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of electrons from one molecule, the reductant, also called the electron donor, to another, the oxidant, also called the electron acceptor. This group of enzymes usually utilizes NADP+ or NAD+ as cofactors. Transmembrane oxidoreductases create electron transport chains in bacteria, chloroplasts and mitochondria, including respiratory complexes I, II and III. Some others can associate with biological membranes as peripheral membrane proteins or be anchored to the membranes through a single transmembrane helix. ^[1]
