| Bioactivity | NAD synthetase is responsible for the final step in the synthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). The Km values for NAD, ATP, and ammonia of NAD synthetase from Escherichia coli are 200 μM, 11 μM, and 0.65 μM, respectively, while the Km values for NAD, ATP, and ammonia of NAD synthetase from yeast are 170 μM, 190 μM, and 64 μM, respectively. NAD synthetase can be used for enzymatic assays to determine ATP, ammonia, urea, or creatinine, and is also suitable for enzymatic cycling methods. Additionally, NAD synthetase holds potential for research into metabolic diseases, cancer, aging, and neurodegenerative diseases[1][2]. |
