The enzymic reduction of nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide by 2-mercaptoethanol.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. The reduction of NAD(+), by an enzyme preparation from rat liver, in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol is reported. 2. It is suggested that the NAD(+)-linked alcohol dehydrogenase in the extract transfers hydrogen from 2-mercaptoethanol to NAD(+). 3. Both yeast and horse-liver alcohol dehydrogenases were observed to reduce NAD(+) in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol. 4. Some interactions of 2-mercaptoethanol, cysteine or hydroxylamine with the alcohol dehydrogenases from rat liver, horse liver and yeast are discussed.

Bilevel disulfide group reduction in the activation of c(4) leaf nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-malate dehydrogenase.
The time course of thioredoxin-mediated reductive activation of isolated Zea mays nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphatemalate dehydrogenase is highly sigmoidal in nature. We examined the factors affecting these kinetics, including the thiol-disulfide status of unactivated and activated forms of the enzyme. The maximum steady rate of activation was increased, and the length of the lag in a...

Schwartz et al. (1) have described the application of the continuous flow system of analysis, developed by Skeggs (2), for the automatic assay of enzymic activities involving the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide cofactors [NAD (H) and NADP(H) ] .2 This paper describes a further development of this application to the continuous monitoring of column effluents. Enzymes which have activities invol...
متن کاملVerifying of Participation of Nitric Oxide in Morphine Place Conditioning in the Rat Medial Septum Using Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate-Diaphorase (NADPH-d)
Background: Role of nitric oxide (NO) in morphine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) has already been proposed in the rat medial septum (MS), but no molecular evidence has been provided to clear this fact. Methods: Effects of intraseptal injections of L-arginine and/or NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) on morphine place conditioning in Wistar rats were examined. Morphine (2.5-7....

The reductive metabolism of 2-amino-4-(5-nitro-2-furyl)thiazole (ANFT), a rat urinary bladder and forestomach carcin ogen, was examined in vitro using rat liver tissues. ANFT was reduced by rat liver microsomes or cytosol on anaerobic incu bation with reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phos phate. The intermediate(s) produced during the microsomal reduction bound to microsomes and to exo...
متن کاملInhibition of rat liver nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide kinase by reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate.
Rat liver NAD kinase (ATP : NAD 2’-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.23) was purified about 70-fold. The MichaelisMenten constants (Km) for NAD and ATP were 8 x 10e4 M and 2 x low3 M, respectively. NAD kinase activity was markedly inhibited by NADH and also NADPH. The Ki of NADH was approximately 1 X 10q4 M, and that of NADPH was approximately 5 X 10M5 M. Both inhibitions were competitive with NAD, ...
