Step 1: Vitamin K is in its active hydroquinone form: In this reaction a proton (H+ ion) is removed from the glutamic acid in an oxygen (O2) consuming reaction. This reaction leads to a carbon ion aring on the glutamic acid molecule. | Step 1: Vitamin K is in its active hydroquinone form: In this reaction a proton (H+ ion) is removed from the glutamic acid in an oxygen (O2) consuming reaction.
