Oxidation of P-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) to NAD+ has attracted much interest from the viewpoint of its role in biosensors reactions. It has been reported that several quinone derivatives and polymerized redox dyes, such as phenoxazine and phenothiazine derivatives, possess catalytic activities for the oxidation of NADH and have been used for dehydrogenase biosensors development [1, 2]. Flavins (contain in chemical structure isoalloxazine ring) are the prosthetic groups responsible for NAD+/NADH conversion in the active sites of some dehydrogenase enzymes. Upon the electropolymerization of flavin derivatives, the effective catalysts of NAD+/NADH regeneration, which mimic the NADH-dehydrogenase activity, would be synthesized [3].

Ethanol is oxidized by alcohol dehydrogenase (in the presence of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide [NAD]) or the microsomal ethanol oxidizing system (MEOS) (in the presence of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate [NADPH]). Acetaldehyde, the first product in ethanol oxidation, is metabolized to acetic acid by aldehyde dehydrogenase in the presence of NAD. Acetic acid is broken down through the citric acid cycle to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Impairment of the metabolism of acetaldehyde to acetic acid is the major mechanism of action of disulfiram for the treatment of alcoholism. 

These dehydrogenases use nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD ) or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP )—or both—and are formed in the body from the vitamin niacin (Chapter 45). The coenzymes are reduced by the specific substrate of the dehydrogenase and reoxidized by a suitable electron acceptor (Figure 11-4). They may freely and reversibly dissociate from their respective apoenzymes.

Zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenases take up two electrons and a proton from alcohols in the form of a hydride. The hydride acceptor is usually NAD(P) (the oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) or its phosphorylated derivative, NADPH). Several liver alcohol dehydrogenases have been structurally characterized, and Pig. 17.8 shows the environment around the catalytic Zn center and the bound NADH cofactor.

The biological applications of tetrazolium salts are the subject of a textbook.96 Kuhn and Jerchel74 were the first to recognize the utility of tetrazolium salts as indicators in redox enzyme activity, particularly those of the various dehydrogenases. It has been recognized449 that this particular utility of tetrazolium salts is related to the proximity of their redox potentials to those of the hydride transfer systems in biology450 such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, NAD, and its phosphate analogue, NADP.

Reliable measurements of L-lactate are of great interest in clinical chemistry, the dairy and vine industry, biotechnology, or sport medicine. In particular, blood lactate levels are indicative of various pathological states, including shock, respiratory insufficiencies, and heart and liver diseases. Silica sol-gel encapsulation of the lactate dehydrogenase and its cofactor was employed as a disposable sensor for L-lactate51. The sensor utilized the changes in absorbance or fluorescence from reduced cofactor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) upon exposure to L-lactate. 

Dehydrogenases, which represent a majority of redox enzymes, are mostly NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, see Fig. 12.9) dependent. This cofactor is not directly bound to the enzyme but its presence in the medium is necessary because it acts as a carrier of two electrons and one proton, and it activates the biocatalytic function of the enzyme. 

As a consequence of the previous considerations Kieber et al. [75] have developed an enzymic method to quantify formic acid in non-saline water samples at sub-micromolar concentrations. The method is based on the oxidation of formate by formate dehydrogenase with corresponding reduction of /3-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (j6-NAD+) to reduced -NAD+(/3-NADH) jS-NADH is quantified by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography with fluorimetric detection. An important feature of this method is that the enzymic reaction occurs directly in aqueous media, even seawater, and does not require sample pre-treatment other than simple filtration. The reaction proceeds at room temperature at a slightly alkaline pH (7.5-8.5), and is specific for formate with a detection limit of 0.5 im (SIN = 4) for a 200 xl injection. The precision of the method was 4.6% relative standard deviation (n = 6) for a 0.6 xM standard addition of formate to Sargasso seawater. Average re-... 

It is possible to use isolated, partially purified enzymes (dehydrogenases) for the reduction of ketones to optically active secondary alcohols. However, a different set of complications arises. The new C H bond is formed by delivery of the hydrogen atom from an enzyme cofactor, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate) NAD(P) in its reduced form. The cofactor is too expensive to be used in a stoichiometric quantity and must be recycled in situ. Recycling methods are relatively simple, using a sacrificial alcohol, or a second enzyme (formate dehydrogenase is popular) but the real and apparent complexity of the ensuing process (Scheme 8)[331 provides too much of a disincentive to investigation by non-experts.
