Dehydrogenases are a class of enzymes that catalyse oxidation-reduction reactions by removing hydrogen atoms, in the form of hydride and protons, from a substrate and transferring them to an acceptor molecule such as the cofactors NAD or FAD. They are essential to cellular metabolism, taking part in processes including energy production, the breakdown of sugars and alcohols, and many biosynthetic pathways. By coupling substrate oxidation to the reduction of cofactors, dehydrogenases help drive the flow of energy and electrons through metabolic networks. Within the broad scope of New Developments in Chemistry, dehydrogenases connect to biochemistry, enzymology, and the study of redox processes. Research in this area includes work on yeast-mediated bioprocesses and bioproducts, where metabolic enzymes underpin biotechnological applications, and broader reviews of redox enzymes and their role in free-radical scavenging and oxidation-reduction chemistry. Such studies illustrate how enzymes that catalyse hydrogen transfer support metabolism, biotechnology, and the control of reactive species. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to dehydrogenases and the enzymes of oxidation-reduction chemistry.
