Chapter 22, Problem 22.51E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The balanced chemical reaction for the oxidation of $2$-hydroxypropanoate using ${\text{NAD}}^{+}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The full form of ${\text{NAD}}^{+}$ coenzyme is nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It is a coenzyme in which two nucleotides are joined together by a phosphate groups. It carries electrons from citric acid cycle to the electron transport chain.
