Dehydrogenases

Dehydrogenases are a subclass of oxidoreductases, ezymes which catalyze oxidation and reduction reactions. These enzymes fall into six categories: oxygenases, reductases, peroxidases, oxidases, hydroxylases, and dehydrogenases. Most oxidoreductase enzymes are dehydrogenases.  Oxidation-reduction reactions are essential to growth and survival of organisms, as the oxidation of organic molecules is an energy producing reaction which drives the synthesis of important energy molecules, such as ATP in glycolysis. For this reason, dehydrogenases have pivotal roles in metabolism.
