Abstract

The reversibility of the NAD+ kinase reaction was established, and the kinetic parameters of the rate equation in the reverse direction were determined. The equilibrium constant of the reaction was determined by using the purified pigeon liver enzyme and radioactively labelled nicotinamide nucleotides. The relationship between kinetic parameters of the forward and reverse reactions is in reasonable agreement with the measured equilibrium constant. As expected from the proposed mechanism of action, the enzyme does not catalyse isotope exchange between NAD+ and NADP+ in the absence of ADP and ATP. Although homogeneous as judged by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, the enzyme preparation exhibits ADP/ATP isotope-exchange activity which could not be separated from NAD+ kinase activity, but kinetic evidence suggests that this is probably due to a contaminant.
