NAD+, NADH as well as NADP+, NADPH have been known to play vital roles in energy metabolism, antioxidation, and reductive biosynthesis. Changes in these systems can be monitored using absorbance ...

To date, efforts to switch the cofactor specificity of oxidoreductases from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) have been made on a ...

DNA was isolated using the Puregene genomic DNA isolation kit (Gentra Systems, Minneapolis, USA), according the instructions of the manufacturer. DNA was analysed for the C242T polymorphism in the ...

Investigation of the electrophoretic characteristics of NADH methemoglobin reductase in five unrelated families with a deficiency of this enzyme showed three different types of enzyme patterns: total ...

The cotyledons of soybean begin to develop photosynthetic capacity shortly after emergence. The cotyledons develop nitrate reductase (NR) activity in parallel with an increase in chlorophyll and a ...

To breakdown nutrients, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) harvests and releases hydrogen electrons to make ATP, while NADPH donates its electrons to build almost everything such as DNA, fats, ...

Photosynthesis utilizes light as an energy source for plant chloroplasts to synthesize carbohydrates from water and CO2 molecules. ATPplays an important role in this process, as it promotes plant ...
