1.3.1.86 FAD in the absence of ferredoxin, a remarkable stimulation of crotonyl-CoA reduction by FAD is observed 1.3.1.86 Ferredoxin butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase from C. difficile belongs to the subfamily of bifurcating enzymes capable of coupling the exergonic reduction of crotonyl-CoA by NAD Hwith the endergonic reduction of ferredoxin by NADH 1.3.1.86 NADH - 1.3.1.86 NADPH - 1.3.1.86 NADPH NADPH is the sole electron donor for the reduction catalyzed by crotonyl-CoA reductase 1.3.1.86 NADPH the crotonyl-CoA reductase reaction requires NADPH as electron donor, but at a 20fold higher concentration NADH will substitute for NADPH with 50% Vmax
