Chapter 10.8, Problem DQ

Why does nature use a reagent as complex as NAD+ to perform an oxidation?

  1. 1. Nature binds the oxidizing agent in an enzyme in proximity to the alcohol being oxidized.
  2. 2. Nature cannot use strong bases in an aqueous environment.
  3. 3. Nature cannot use toxic heavy metals.
  4. 4. All of the above are true.
