Abstract

In order to inhibit the dimerization during the electrolytic reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP), NADP was covalently attached to a water-soluble polymer at proper intervals. Matrix-bound NADP was found to exhibit coenzymatic functions comparable to that of free NADP when it was coupled with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. According to the polarographic behaviors, matrix-bound NADP was electrolytically reduced at a controlled potential of -1.8 V vs. saturated calomel electrode (SCE). The electrolytically reduced product was identified as the enzymatically active NADPH by means of spectrophotometric and enzymatic assays. The dimerization of radical (NADP ) during the electrolytic reduction might be significantly retarded by immobilizing NADP to a water-soluble polymer matrix.
