Relationship of alcohol synthesis and NADH/NADPH regenerations. The de novo biosynthesis of NADH/NADPH starts at l-tryptophan and then NADH/NADPH goes to butanol pathway via NADPH/NADH circle while NAD+/NADP+ are generated; beside complement of NADH/NADPH from de novo synthesis, NAD+/NADP+ in active cells goes back to NADPH/NADH to regenerate its reducing form. nicotinic acid mononucleotide (NaMN); nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide (NaAD); nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+); nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogen (NADH); nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+); nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen (NADPH); alcohol/aldehyde dehydrogenase (AAD); butanol dehydrogenase I (BDHA); butanol dehydrogenase II (BDHB)
