NADP (β-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate)
NADP is a coenzyme, which is formed by niacinamide adenine dinucleotide and phosphate molecule through an ester bond. It exists widely in the biological world and can be used for reduction reaction. It’s also a major component in various diagnosis kit, especially enzyme activity assays.
Appearance
White to yellow powder
Storage conditions

Structural formula
Molecular weight
C21H26N7Na2O17P3/787.4
Purity
≥95 %（HPLC).
Detection wavelength
λ max（Color rendering= 260 nm.
Solubility
Easily soluble in water (reference concentration 10mg/ml).
Technical principles
NADP is a coenzyme of dehydrogenase, and acts as a hydrogen acceptor in the reaction process. It accepts hydrogen through chemical osmotic coupling in the electron transport chain and reduces itself to NADPH.
Advantages
1) Good water solubility;
2) Good stability.
