title: Conformations of nicotinamide coenzymes bound to dehydrogenases determined by transferred nuclear Overhauser effects.
abstract: Transferred nuclear Overhauser enhancement was used to examine the conformation of NAD+ and NADP+ bound to glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glutamate dehydrogenase and of NAD+ bound to lactate dehydrogenase. The results demonstrate that the conformation of the nicotinamide-ribose bond is anti for dehydrogenases with A stereospecificity and syn for dehydrogenases with B stereospecificity. In those dehydrogenases that bind both NAD+ and NADP+, significant differences occur in the conformations of the bound nicotinamide coenzymes.
