Oxidized form of Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is?
|
NAD+
|
|
NADH
|
|
NADPH
|

none of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -NAD+ (the oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is classically known as a cofactor for the hydride transfer enzymes of intermediary metabolism [47]. These well-known reactions entail the recycling of NAD+ [or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP)] between oxidized and reduced forms.
Detailed explanation-2: -NADH is the reduced form of NAD+. NAD+ is the oxidized form of NADH.
Detailed explanation-3: -NAD+ and NADH are two forms of the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. NAD+ can convert to NADH and vice versa. These conversions are essential reactions in creating cellular energy.
