β-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, reduced disodium salt (CAS 606-68-8)

β-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, reduced disodium salt also know as NADH, plays a pivotal role in the biochemical toolkit, especially in enzyme cycling assays, which are instrumental in amplifying signals for better detection of enzymatic activities and metabolite concentrations that are otherwise too low to measure effectively. This compound serves as a critical coenzyme in redox reactions, where it functions by alternating between oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH) states. This reversible conversion is central to the catalytic processes that drive the metabolic pathways across various biochemical applications. In research applications, β-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, reduced disodium salt is essential for studying these pathways by providing a reliable means of quantifying enzyme functions and interactions within a given sample, thereby facilitating deeper insights into cellular processes and metabolic dynamics. The use of β-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, reduced disodium salt in these assays reflects its fundamental role in capturing the dynamic balance of metabolic activities at the molecular level.
