Abstract
COENZYMES I and II occupy pivotal positions in biological oxidations. The great majority of metabolites in animal tissues are oxidized through the intermediation of these coenzymes. But whereas the mechanism of the reduction of the coenzymes by dehydrogenase systems is well understood, the physiological mechanism of the oxidation of reduced coenzyme I or II has been obscure.
