A typical enzyme-catalyzed reduction reaction occurring in a biosynthetic pathway would require the cofactor

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enzyme-catalyzed reduction reactions occurring in biosynthetic pathways typically require the cofactor NADPH. NADPH acts as a reducing agent and supplies electrons for the reduction reactions. The other answer choices (NAD+, FADH2, FAD, and NADP+) are also important cofactors involved in enzyme-catalyzed reactions, but they are not specifically required for reduction reactions in biosynthetic pathways.
