The primary purification of the enzyme G3PDH was exploited herein as a preliminary study to investigate and demonstrate the feasibility of the integrated operation of cell disruption by bead milling and immediate product capture by fluidised bed adsorption (panel A in Figure 17.6). Yeast G3PDH binds nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) as a cofactor,... 

All NOS isoforms utilize L-arginine as the substrate, and molecular oxygen and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) as cosubstrates. Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FMN), flavin mononucleotide (FAD), and (6R)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-L-biopterin (BH4) are cofactors of the enzyme. All NOS isoforms contain heme and bind calmodulin. In nNOS and eNOS,...

Figure 3.1 Amino add side-chain groups involved in binding NAD at the active site of an enzyme. The enzyme is glyceraldehyde dehydrogenase. More than 20 amino acids, the position of which in the primary structure is indicated by the number, counting from the N-terminal amino acid, are involved in the binding. This emphasises the complexity of the binding that is responsible for the specificity of the enzyme for NAD (depicted in bold). The molecular structure of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD ) provided in Appendix 3.3.

Mitomycin (mitomycin C, Mitocin-C, Mutamycin) is an antibiotic that is derived from a species of Streptomyces. It is sometimes classified as an alkylating agent because it can covalently bind to and cross-link DNA. Mitomycin is thought to inhibit DNA synthesis through its abihty to alkylate double-strand DNA and bring about interstrand cross-hnking. There is evidence that enzymatic reduction by a reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) dependent reductase is necessary to activate the drug. 

Triazine (e.g., atrazine, simazine) and substituted urea (e.g., diuron, monuron) herbicides bind to the plastoquinone (PQ)-binding site on the D1 protein in the PS II reaction center of the photosynthetic electron transport chain. This blocks the transfer of electrons from the electron donor, QA, to the mobile electron carrier, QB. The resultant inhibition of electron transport has two major consequences (i) a shortage of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+), which is required for C02 fixation and (ii) the formation of oxygen radicals (H202, OH, etc.), which cause photooxidation of important molecules in the chloroplast (e.g., chlorophylls, unsaturated lipids, etc.). The latter is the major herbicidal consequence of the inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport.
