title: [Properties of NAD binding by synaptic membranes of rat brain].
abstract: The binding of [14C]NAD to rat brain synaptic membranes is reversible and depends on incubation time, temperature and protein concentration in the reaction mixture. The value of the rate constant for [14C]NAD binding to the synaptic membranes at 24 degrees C (kl) is 1.1 X 10(-6) M-1 S-1, the rate constant for dissociation of the [14C]NAD-receptor complex (k-1) is 3.3 X 10(-3) S-1. The value of the constant for the ligand dissociation from this complex (Kd) is 3.0 nmole. Treatment of the experimental results in the Scatchard plots for the equilibrium binding of [14C]NAD to the synaptic membranes demonstrated that the receptor sites with high and low affinities for the ligand (Kd1 = 3.3 nmol, Kd2 = 14.4 nmole) and with binding capacities of 44 and 77 pmole of [14C]NAD, respectively. It was found that the synaptosomal membrane components which bind the labelled NAD have a protein nature. Data from [14C]NAD and [nicotinamide-3H]NAD binding suggest that brain synaptic membranes bind NAD at the nicotinamide and adenylic moieties.
