Table 1. Physical and kinetic properties of prokaryotic and eukaryotic NADKs.

Activities using either NAD+ or NADH as substrate are presented. The values are given as μmol of product (NADP+ or NADPH respectively) formed per min per mg of protein. −, not detectable; poly(P) designates polyphosphate as the substrate instead of ATP.
