Anaerobic incubations of rat liver microsomes convert daunorubicin into at least six or seven aglycones in the presence of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate or a reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-generating system. The partial identification of some of the aglycones is based on cochromatographs of chemically synthesized derivatives by isocratic high-pressure ...

Electron spin resonance measurements were performed for the reactions of some endogenous photosensitizers (flavin mononucleotide or flavin adenine dinucleotide or folic acid or β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate or pyridoxal-5'-phosphate or urocanic acid) with oleic acid under the ultraviolet light A irradiation using α-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-ter...

Microinjection of human Jurkat T-lymphocytes with nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP 1 ) dose-dependently stimulated intracellular Ca 2 1 -signaling. At a concentration of 10 nM NAADP 1 evoked repetitive and long-lasting Ca 2 1 oscillations of low amplitude, whereas at 50 and 100 nM, a rapid and high initial Ca 2 1 -peak followed by trains of smaller Ca 2 1 -oscillations was o...

Mercurous ion (Hg(+))-dependent reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidation was demonstrated in an extract from cells of Escherichia coli W2252 that bear R factor.

A Ca2+-requiring catalytic RNA is shown to create 5' phosphate-phosphate linkages with all nucleotides and coenzymes including CoA, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, thiamine phosphate, thiamine pyrophosphate, and flavin mononucleotide. In addition to these small molecules, macromolecules such as RNAs with 5'-diphosphates, and nonnucleotide molecules like Nepsilon-phosphate arginine ...

Pathways of mannitol biosynthesis and utilization in Aspergillus candidus NRRL 305 were studied in cell-free extracts of washed mycelia prepared by sonic and French pressure cell treatments. A nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-linked mannitol-1-phosphate (M1P) dehydrogenase was found in French pressure cell extracts of d-glucose-grown cells, whereas a specific mannitol-1-phosphatase was present...

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was partially purified from both glucose-grown and iron-glucose-grown Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. The enzyme possesses a dual nucleotide specificity for either nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and has a molecular weight of 110,000 as determined by gel electrophoresis. Evidence is presented that T. ferr...
