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].

Nicotinamide is an essential part of two important coenzymes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD ) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP ) (Figure 18.19). The reduced forms of these coenzymes are NADH and NADPH. The nieotinamide eoenzymes (also known as pyridine nucleotides) are electron carriers. They play vital roles in a variety of enzyme-catalyzed oxidation-reduction reactions. (NAD is an electron acceptor in oxidative (catabolic) pathways and NADPH is an electron donor in reductive (biosynthetic) pathways.) These reactions involve direct transfer of hydride anion either to NAD(P) or from NAD(P)H. The enzymes that facilitate such... 

NAD (P) " -dependent enzymes are stereospecific. Malate dehydrogenase, for example, transfers a hydride to die pro-/ position of NADH, whereas glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase transfers a hydride to die pro-5 position of the nicotinamide. Alcohol dehydrogenase removes a hydride from the pro-i position of edianol and transfers it to die pro-i position of NADH. 

Several other electron-transfer reagents have been tested with arenediazonium ions, for example, A-benzyl-l,4-dihydronicotinamide, which is a model for biochemical reductions by NAD(P)H, the reduced form of NADP+ (nicotinamide adenine cfinucleotide phosphate) (Yasui et al., 1984). 

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. 

In the processes that require regeneration of cofactors such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAD(P)H) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), whole-cell biotransformations are more advantageous than enzymatic systems [12,15]. Whole cells also have a competitive edge over the isolated enzymes in complex conversions involving multiple enzymatic reactions [14]. 

The most important coenzymes in synthetic organic chemistry [14] and industrially applied biotransformations [15] are the nicotinamide cofactors NAD/ H (3a/8a, Scheme 43.1) and NAD(P)/H (3b/8b, Scheme 43.1). These pyridine nucleotides are essential components of the cell [16]. In all the reactions where they are involved, they serve solely as hydride donors or acceptors. The oxidized and reduced form of the molecules are shown in Scheme 43.1, the redox reaction taking place at the C-4 atom of the nicotinamide moiety.

Until now, only a few versatile, selective and effective transition-metal complexes have been applied in nicotinamide cofactor reduction. The TOFs are well within the same order of magnitude for all systems studied, and are within the same range as reported for the hydrogenase enzyme thus, the catalytic efficiency is comparable. The most versatile complex Cp Rh(bpy) (9) stands out due to its acceptance of NAD+ and NADP+, acceptance of various redox equivalents (formate, hydrogen and electrons), and its high selectivity towards enzymatically active 1,4-NAD(P)H. 

The asymmetric reduction of prochiral functional groups is an extremely useful transformation in organic synthesis. There is an important difference between isolated enzyme-catalyzed reduction reactions and whole cell-catalyzed transformations in terms of the recycling of the essential nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate) [NAD(P)H] cofactor. For isolated enzyme-catalyzed reductions, a cofactor recycling system must be introduced to allow the addition of only a catalytic amount (5% mol) of NAD(P)H. For whole cell-catalyzed reductions, cofactor recycling is automatically achieved by the cell, and the addition of a cofactor to the reaction system is normally not required. 

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. 

More than two decades ago, Ohno and co-workers synthesized optically active nicotinamide 55, which was considered a chiral model of NAD(P)H [43]. The model compound afforded high enantiospecificity in... 

Distinct coenzymes are required in biological systems because both catabolic and anabolic pathways may exist within a single compartment of a cell. The nicotinamide coenzymes catalyze direct hydride transfer (from NAD(P)H or to NAD(P)+) to or from a substrate or other cofactors active in oxidation-reduction pathways, thus acting as two-electron carriers. Chemical models have provided... 

NAD(P)+ as Anode Mediator. A majority of redox enzymes require the cation nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, possibly phosphorylated (NAD(P)+) as a cofactor. Of the oxidoreductases listed in Enzyme Nomenclature, over 60% have NAD(P)+ as a reactant or product.For example, methanol can be oxidized to form formaldehyde by methanol dehydrogenase (MDH, EC 1.1.1.244) according to... 

The pyridine nucleotides NAD and NADP always function in unbound form. The oxidized forms contain an aromatic nicotinamide ring in which the positive charge is delocalized. The right-hand example of the two resonance structures shown contains an electron-poor, positively charged C atom at the para position to nitrogen. If a hydride ion is added at this point (see above), the reduced forms NADH or NADPH arise. No radical intermediate steps occur. Because a proton is released at the same time, the reduced pyridine nucleotide coenzymes are correctly expressed as NAD(P)H+HT... 

This enzyme [EC 1.6.1.1] (also known as NAD(P)+ trans-hydrogenase (B-specific), pyridine nucleotide transhy-drogenase, and nicotinamide nucleotide transhydro-genase) catalyzes the reversible reaction of NADPH with NAD+ to produce NADP+ and NADH. This FAD-dependent enzyme is B-specific with respect to both pyridine coenzymes. In addition, deamino coenzymes will also serve as substrates. 

Another approach to preparing enantiomerically pure carboxylic acids and related compounds is via enanhoselective reduction of conjugated double bonds using NAD(P)H-dependent enoate reductases (EREDs EC 1.3.1.X), members of the so-called Old Yellow Enzyme family [44]. EREDs are ubiquitous in nature and their catalytic mechanism is well documented [45]. They contain a catalytic flavin cofactor and a stoichiometric nicotinamide cofactor which must be regenerated (Scheme 6.23).
