Reducing equivalent
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
In biochemistry, the term reducing equivalent refers to any number of chemical species which transfer the equivalent of one electron in redox reactions.[1] Examples of reducing equivalents are:
- A lone electron (for example in reactions involving metal ions)
- A hydrogen atom (consisting of a proton and an electron)
- A hydride ion (:H−) which carries two electrons (for example in reactions involving NAD)
