NAD
Coenzyme I | DPN | Diphosphopyridine Nucleotide | Nadide | Nicotinamide-Adenine Dinucleotide | Dihydronicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide | NADH | Adenine Dinucleotide, Dihydronicotinamide | Dinucleotide, Dihydronicotinamide Adenine
A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-diphosphate coupled to adenosine 5'-phosphate by pyrophosphate linkage. It is found widely in nature and is involved in numerous enzymatic reactions in which it serves as an electron carrier by being alternately oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH). (Dorland, 27th ed) |
