Merck, N1511-1G, β-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrate

General description
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products that adhere to one or more of the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. Beta-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is a bio-derived redox cofactor that works together with enzymes as part of a biocatalyst system. It can be efficiently recycled in many reactions, enabling selective oxidations while reducing waste and supporting greener, more sustainable chemical processes. Click here for more information.
Application
β-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrate has been used:
to prepare NAD⁺ standard solution for a study on NAD⁺ metabolomics
as a component of MurI assay reaction partial mixture for glutamate racemase reaction
as a component of a chromogenic staining solution to stain zebrafish embryos

Biochem/physiol Actions
β-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (β-NAD) is a cofactor of alcohol dehydrogenase and acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in visceral smooth muscles. The NAD/NADH ratio has a role in the regulation of intracellular redox potential. It thereby influences metabolic reactions in vivo.
Electron acceptor
Packaging
Packaged by solid weight.
Other Notes
Crystalline NAD contains less than 0.1% (w/w) residual organic solvent, is less hygroscopic and electrostatic, and is more stable at ambient temperature than amorphous NAD.
This is the common form of NAD.
