UDP-alpha-D-glucose with NAD+ as cofactor, UDP-4-ketopyranose and NADH are reaction intermediates. Weak binding of the 4-ketopyranosyl moiety and strong binding of the UDP-moiety within a substrate domain allow either face of the 4-ketopyranosyl moiety to accept hydride from NADH, pH-dependent charge transfer complex between Tyr149 and NAD+ Escherichia coli UDP-alpha-D-galactose
