| Specification: |
The nomenclature of Dehydrogenase (CAS NO.9035-82-9) is as following:
The common scheme for making names for oxidoreductases is adding donor name to the it, i.e. donor dehydrogenase. For example: alcohol it, leucine it etc. The proper name consists from the donor name, acceptor name together with oxidoreductase, i.e. donor:acceptor oxidoreductase. Sometimes the construction acceptor reductase is used. Here take Enzyme EC 1.1.1.1 for example, its systematic name is alcohol:NAD+ oxidoreductase, and its accepted name is alcohol it.
The catalytic mechanism of it is as following:
They transfer protons to an acceptor or coenzymes, i.e. small organic molecules, involved into enzymatic catalysis, such as Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+ or NADH), Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+ or NADPH), Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) or Flavin mononucleotide (FMN).
