Summary
| Description |
English:
This is the mechanism of 5α-Reductase on testosterone to convert it into DHT (dihydrotestosterone). 5α-Reductase works by using the reducing power of NADPH to perform a hydride shift on the double carbon bond in the ring causing enolate formation and subsequent tautamerization to form DHT.
