In glycerol metabolism, the oxidation of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate to give dihydroxyacetone phosphate is catalyzed by sn-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, with NAD1 as a cofactor. The reaction is stereospecific, occurring exclusively on the Re face of the nicotinamide ring. Which hydrogen in the NADH product comes from sn-glycerol 3-phosphate? Does it have pro-R or pro-S stereochemistry?

What enzyme cofactor is associated with each of the following kinds of reactions?
(a) Transamination
(b) Carboxylation of a ketone
(c) Decarboxylation of an
