On the Enzymatic Activation of NADH

Abstract: Atomic (1 Å) resolution x-ray structures of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase in complex with NADH revealed the formation of an adduct in the active site between a metal-bound water and NADH. Furthermore, a pronounced distortion of the pyridine ring of NADH was observed. A series of quantum chemical calculations on the water-nicotinamide adduct showed that the puckering of the pyridine ring in the crystal structures can only be reproduced when the water is considered a hydroxide ion. These observations provide… Show more

“…Alcohol dehydrogenases with the Rossmann fold require a metal ion such as Zn 2ϩ bound to the active site to stabilize a transition state such as an alkoxide (43,44). The catalytic reaction of PsDpkA is not accelerated but inhibited by metal ions (24), and no metal ion bound to the protein was detected on the residual electron density map.…”

“…Although NAD ϩ and NADH differ by only a single proton and two electrons, the structures of the nicotinamide moieties are vastly different. In NAD ϩ , the nicotinamide has a planar structure, whereas it is puckered in NADH (25). This marked difference probably explains the differential binding of the two nucleotides and suggests that the nicotinamide moiety plays an important role in mediating NADH binding.…”

“…The nicotinamide ring of NADH/NAD + or NADPH/NADP + is the part of the cofactor directly involved in the transfer of electrons during the reactions catalyzed by NAD(P)H-dependent oxidoreductases, while the C4 carbon atom of the nicotinamide ring acts as the acceptor/ donor of a proton [2]. The addition of the phosphate to the 2′-OH group of the adenine ribose ring in NADPH/NADP + does not modify the electron transport capability as it is located far from the electron transfer region (Fig.…”
