Effect of pH on oxyreductase

i agree, is there an expert that can corroborate this possible innacuracy?

There is a factual error on this page. The correct definition of a reductant is an electron or hydride donor and an oxidant is an electron or hydride acceptor. --82.41.59.196 19:04, 22 October 2005 (UTC) Ross

reductant, oxidant.
yes, i have researched this a bit, and the REDUCTANT becomes oxidzied and REDUCES a species, and the OXIDANT becomes reduced and OXIDIZES a species. As it is written in the first sentence it appears the definitions are reversed.--Frenkmelk 16:36, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Hydrogen donor
It may be more clear to state that the hydrogen donor is formally a hydrogen anion, or a hydride, to distinguish it from a proton. This is because a proton is donated in Bronsted acid-base reactions, which have nothing to do with the reaction catalyzed by oxidoreductase. Chibibrain (talk) 05:25, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
