ß-Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, Oxidized Form
Application Notes
Many metabolites and enzymes of biological interest are present in tissues at low concentrations. With the use of ß-NAD as a catalyst intermediate and several enzymes in a multistep system, known as enzyme cycling, much greater sensitivity for detection of these components is achieved. The reduced form, ß-NADH, is fluorescent whereas ß-NAD is not. This difference in fluorescence provides a sensitive fluorescent measurement of the oxidized or reduced pyridine nucleotides at concentrations down to 10-7 M.
