Photosynthesis comprises a light-induced and a dark reaction. The first, called photophosphorylation, involves the two-electron reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+) by water, to produce NADPH and oxygen. The redox reaction is coupled to the generation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) ...

Irradiation of water leads to formation of (HO) . By contrast, in the brain, strong water-soluble electron donors (DH) such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), catechin, hydroquinone, ascorbic acid or glutathione (L-y-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine GSH) can promote formation of (HO) from H2O2 in the presence of Cu+ or some iron complexes (e.g. Fe -adenosine diphosphate complexes) according to Eqs. (15) and (16) (Florence, 1984 Kadiiska et al., 1992).

Reduction with isolated enzymes avoids difficulties associated with diffusion limitations and also avoids the presence of many different enzymes, present in the whole cell, which can cause side reactions or reduced enantioselectivity. The main drawback, however, is the instability of the isolated enzyme and the requirement for added co-factor NAD(H) or NADP(H), which are the oxidized (or reduced) forms of nicotinamide adenine diphosphate or its 2 -phosphate derivative. These co-factors are expensive, but can be used as catalysts in the presence of a co-reductant such as formate ion HCOO or an alcohol (e.g. isopropanol or ethanol). The reduction of ketones occurs by transfer of hydride from the C-4 position of the dihydropyridine ring of NADH or NADPH (7.105). Only one of the two hydrogen atoms is transferred and this process occurs within the active site of the enzyme to promote asymmetric reduction.

Whereas catabolism involves oxidation of starting molecnles, biosynthesis or anabolism involves reduction reactions, hence the need for a reducing agent or hydrogen donor, which is usually NADP (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). These catalysts are known as coenzymes and the most widely occurring is coenzyme A (CoA), made up of ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and pantetheine phosphate. 

The coenzymes nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide - adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP), their reduced forms, and adenosine 5 -monophosphate (5 -AMP) and adenosine 2, 5 -diphosphate (2. 5 -ADP) represent well-known examples of this class. They can be considered for the purification of ca. 25 % of the known enzymes (especially dehydrogenases). 

The direct reduction of glutamate 5-phosphate (Scheme 12.3) with the nicotinamide adenine diphosphate (NADPH)/NADP+-dependent glutamate-5-semialde-hyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.41) as shown in Scheme 12.5 produces glutamate 5-semialdehyde. The aldehyde spontaneously undergoes cyclization to (5)-3,4-dihydro-2//-pyrrole-2-carboxylate, which is then reduced to L-proline (Pro, P).The reduction is accomplished again with the phosphorylated nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide being oxidized while in the presence of the enzyme pyrroline-5-car-boxylate reductase (EC 1.5.1.2).
