Proposed Bibliography for edit of page
I am planning on editing the page to add details about oxidoreductases, the use of NAD+/NADP+, more details on specific examples (alcohol dehydrogenase), and how dehydrogenases are used in the TCA cycle. Here are some of the resources I am planning on using:

1) Voet, Donald, Judith G. Voet, and Charlotte W. Pratt. Fundamentals of Biochemistry: Life at the Molecular Level. New York: Wiley, 2006. Print.

2) Goodsell, D.S. "Alcohol Dehydrogenase". RCSB Protein Data Bank. doi:10.2210/rcsb_pdb/mom_2001_1.

outline for proposed edit
1)	define oxidoreductases (using source 4 & 1 from above)

a.	distinguish between a dehydrogenase and a reductase

2)	In depth description of dehydrogenase

a.	Reactions they catalyze

b.	How to identify a dehydrogenase

c.	What the reaction looks like (with a picture)- using chemdraw

3)	Use of cosubstrates (source 1)

a.	NAD+/NADP (source 3 & 1)

b.	FAD (source 1)

c.	When each is used (what type of reactions with examples)

d.	How they work

4)	Detailed example of a dehydrogenase reaction

a.	Either alcohol dehydrogenase or TCA cycle dehydrogenase (source 5,6 or 2) Jessicook (talk) 17:37, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
