dehydrogenase
n.an enzyme that helps remove hydrogen from a molecule during a chemical reaction. These enzymes are very important for your body to produce energy from food.
n.an enzyme that catalyses the removal of hydrogen from a substrate. Often involved in the oxidation of organic compounds to produce energy in metabolic pathways.
“The body uses dehydrogenase to break down sugar.”
“In the mitochondria, dehydrogenase plays a key role in the electron transport chain by transferring hydrogen ions.”
“The specific activity of the dehydrogenase enzyme is a critical indicator of the metabolic health of the cell, as it determines the rate at which hydrogen is removed from the substrate.”
“Besides faulty lactose digestion, nonwhite bodies were accused of other failures, too, such as aldehyde dehydrogenase deficiency , an inability to digest alcohol quickly.”
