Abstract

Biological oxido-reduction reactions, catalyzed by a large variety of enzymes exchanging electrons between different electron donors and acceptors, and various coenzyme molecules, must interact with each other in a ordered and controlled fashion, in such a way to maintain the overall velocity of metabolism in steady state conditions. In a single phase situation, as is the case for soluble redox enzymes in the cytoplasm, the redox coupling between metabolic reactions depends in fact upon the concentrations maintained in the steady state for the different reagents and products, and is also related to the kinetic properties of the various redox enzymes.
