NAD+ It can be reduced and can carry up to two protons (written as NAD + )。 Overview of major metabolism and physiological functions of NAD+ [4] NAD is dehydrogenase Of coenzyme , such as Alcohol dehydrogenase ( ADH ), for oxidation ethanol 。 It's in Glycolysis , Gluconeogenesis , Tricarboxylic acid cycle and respiratory chain China is playing an irreplaceable role. Intermediate product Will deliver the removed hydrogen to NAD, making it NADH 。 and NADH Will act as the carrier of hydrogen and pass through Chemical osmosis Coupling mode, synthesis ATP 。 In terms of light absorption, NADH has one at 260nm and one at 340nm absorption peak NAD has only one absorption peak at 260nm, which is an important attribute to distinguish the two. This is also a measurement in many metabolic tests metabolic rate The physical basis of. NAD at 260nm Light absorption coefficient 1780L/( mol ·Cm), while the absorbance coefficient of NADH at 340nm is 6200L/(mol · cm). NAD+can participate in glycolysis:
