Textbook Question
Chapter 10.8, Problem DQ
Why does nature use a reagent as complex as NAD+ to perform an oxidation?
- 1. Nature binds the oxidizing agent in an enzyme in proximity to the alcohol being oxidized.
- 2. Nature cannot use strong bases in an aqueous environment.
- 3. Nature cannot use toxic heavy metals.
- 4. All of the above are true.
