Nadph is oxidized to store energy

NADPH stores chemical energy as high-energy electrons and protons, often called “reducing power. Redox reactions require that electrons can be transferred or removed to either reduce or oxidize a particular substrate or molecule. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, abbreviated NADP[1][2] or, in older notation, TPN (triphosphopyridine nucleotide), is a cofactor used in anabolic reactions, such as the Calvin cycle and lipid and nucleic acid syntheses, which require it as a reducing agent ('hydrogen source'). It plays a fundamental role in maintaining cellular health and function by participating in numerous biochemical reactions. This article provides a comprehensive overview of NADPH, its structure, functions, its significance.
