The of alcohol dehydrogenase reaction is as follows: CH3CH2OH + NAD+ -> CH3COH (acetaldehyde) + NADH + H+ (Note: The reaction is actually reversible although the arrow does not show it) <ref>Voet, et. al. ''Fundamentals of Biochemistry: 3rd Edition''. Hoboken: Wiley & Sons, Inc, 2008.</ref> The alcohol dehydrogenase reaction is a bisubstrate reaction, where ADH catalyzed the transfer of a hydride ion from ethanol to NAD+. In metabolic reactions within the human liver, glyceraldehyde is reduced to glycerol through a mechanism in which NADH is reduced to NAD+, and this whole process is catalyzed by alcohol dehydrogenase. | The of alcohol dehydrogenase reaction is as follows: CH3CH2OH + NAD+ -> CH3COH (acetaldehyde) + NADH + H+ (Note: The reaction is actually reversible although the arrow does not show it) <ref>Voet, et. al.
