Application

β-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrate has been used:
  • to measure adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis rates (kinetics measurements)
  • in the reaction buffer for pyruvate kinase (PK) activity assay
  • as a component of master mix for a high throughput screening

Biochem/physiol Actions

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

General description

β-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an electron carrier and a cofactor. It is ubiquitously found in the living system. 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.

Other Notes

Crystalline NAD contains less than 0.1% (w/w) residual organic solvent, is less hygroscopic and electrostatic, and is more stable at ambient temperatures than amorphous NAD.
This is the common form of NAD.
