General description

β-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a ubiquitously found electron carrier and a cofactor. NAD+ contains an adenylic acid and a nicotinamide-5′-ribonucleotide group linked together by a pyrophosphate moiety. In NAD+ complexes, the enzyme-cofactor interactions are highly conserved.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products that adhere to one or more of the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. Beta-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is a bio-derived redox cofactor that works together with enzymes as part of a biocatalyst system. It can be efficiently recycled in many reactions, enabling selective oxidations while reducing waste and supporting greener, more sustainable chemical processes. Click here for more information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

β-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) significantly participates in enzyme-catalyzed oxido-reduction processes and many genetic processes. It cycles between the oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH) forms to maintain a redox balance necessary for continued cell growth. NAD is also involved in microbial catabolism.

3-Hydroxybenzoate 6-hydroxylase (3HB6H) from Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 is an NADH-specific flavoprotein monooxygenase that catalyzes the para-hydroxylation of 3-hydroxybenzoate (3HB) to form 2,5-dihydroxybenzoate (2,5-DHB). Based on results from stopped-flow spectrophotometry, the reduced enzyme-3HB complex reacts with oxygen to form a C4a-peroxy
