  "term": "Dehydrogenase",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An enzyme that catalyzes the removal of hydrogen atoms from a substrate, an oxidation reaction. This type of oxidoreductase transfers the hydrogen to an acceptor molecule, such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) or a flavin coenzyme, which becomes reduced.
