Table of standard reduction potentials for half-reactions important in biochemistry
The values below are standard reduction potentials for half-reactions measured at 25°C, 1 atmosphere and a pH of 7 in aqueous solution.[1][2]
Half-reaction | Δξ°'(V) | E' Physiological conditions | References and notes |
---|---|---|---|
CH3COOH + 2 H+ + 2 e− → CH3CHO + H2O | -0.58 | ||
2 H+ + 2 e− → H2 | -0.42 | ||
NAD+ + H+ + 2 e− → NADH | -0.320 | -0.280 | The ratio of NAD+:NADH is maintained at around 30:1.[3] This allows NAD+ to be used to oxidise organic molecules |
NADP+ + H+ + 2 e− → NADPH | -0.320 | -0.370 | The ratio of NADP+:NADPH is maintained at around 1:50.[3] This allows NADPH to be used to reduce organic molecules |
FAD + 2 H+ + 2 e− → FADH2 (coenzyme bonded to flavoproteins) | -0.22 | Depending on the protein involved, the potential of the flavine can vary widely[4] | |
O2 + 2 H+ + 2 e− → H2O2 | +0.30 | ||
O2 + 4 H+ + 4 e− → 2 H2O | +0.82 | ||
P680+ + e− → P680 | ~ +1.0 |
