Metabolism of Pyridine Coenzymes in Microorganisms

Part III. Phosphorylation of NADP and NADP Analog

Abstract

NADP and NADP analog were phosphorylated to NAD diphosphate and NADP analog phosphate, respectively, by an enzyme preparation of Proteus mirabilis (IFO 3849). The degradation products from NAD-diphosphate and NADP analog phosphate by the snake venom nucleotide pyrophosphatase were identical with nicotinamide riboside diphosphate and adenosine 2'(3'), 5'-diphosphate.
