Enzymatic synthesis of polymers containing nicotinamide mononucleotide.

Enzymatic Synthesis of Triphosphopyridine Nucleotide

Von Euler and Vestin (1) demonstrated the synthesis of triphosphopyridine nucleotide (TPN) when diphosphopyridine nucleotide (DPN) was incubated with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the presence of crude yeast maceration juice. In subsequent reports (2) from the Stockholm laboratory, several mechanisms for this reaction were considered but none was established. With crude pigeon liver fractions...

Preparation and properties of some nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide analogues with pentose and purine modifications.

The structure of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide was proved conclusively by chemical synthesis (1) and isolation (2) of the biologically active coenzyme from a reaction in which the 5,5’dinucleoside pyrophosphate was formed by condensing together the two component 5’-mononucleotides, adenosine monophosphate and nicotinamide mononucleotide, with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide or trifluoroacetic acid...

Enzymatic Formation of Uridine Diphosphoglucuronic

Many studies have shown that, although glucose is converted to glucuronides without cleavage of the carbon chain (2--S), free glucuronic acid functions poorly, if at all, as a precursor of glucuronic acid-containing compounds in living systems (e.g. phenol or alcohol glucuronides, mucopolysaccharides) (9-l 1). An important advance in elucidating the nature of the intermediates in the biosynthes...
