	Because Leghemoglobin can autooxidize, there are several mechanisms to maintain the protein in its active (reduced) form. One of them involves an enzyme called, Leghemogobin Reductase. This protein is a flavoprotein that catalyzes the reduction of Lb<sup>3+</sup> (ferric form) to Lb<sup>2+</sup> (ferrous form).		Because Leghemoglobin can autooxidize, there are several mechanisms to maintain the protein in its active (reduced) form. One of them involves an enzyme called, Leghemogobin Reductase. This protein is a flavoprotein that catalyzes the reduction of Lb<sup>3+</sup> (ferric form) to Lb<sup>2+</sup> (ferrous form) using NADH. The reaction is as follows:
