The first step in the biological degradation of lysine is reductive animation with a-ketoglutarate to give saccharopine. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), a relative of NADH, is the reducing agent. Show the mechanism. [Pg.1059]

Reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NADH) plays a vital role in the reduction of oxygen in the respiratory chain [139]. The biological activity of NADH and oxidized nicotinamideadenine dinucleotide (NAD ) is based on the ability of the nicotinamide group to undergo reversible oxidation-reduction reactions, where a hydride equivalent transfers between a pyridine nucleus in the coenzymes and a substrate (Scheme 29a). The prototype of the reaction is formulated by a simple process where a hydride equivalent transfers from an allylic position to an unsaturated bond (Scheme 29b). No bonds form between the n bonds where electrons delocalize or where the frontier orbitals localize. The simplified formula can be compared with the ene reaction of propene (Scheme 29c), where a bond forms between the n bonds. [Pg.50]

Therefore a field test for NO3 was developed with the biological reducing agent p-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH, derived from the vitamin niacin) instead of Cd. The enzyme nitrate reductase (Figure 18-12) catalyzes the reduction ... [Pg.403]
