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
