Just like in biological systems, the GAPDH-catalyzed oxidation of aldehyde to carboxylate proceeds in conjunction with 1,4-selective reduction of NAD to NADH model compounds [Eq. (1)]. The combination of GAPDH- and LDH-type transfer reactions is also described here as a system mimic for the NAD /NADH redox cycle in anaerobic glycolysis. GAPDH=D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, LDH=L-lactate dehydrogenase.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
