NAD(+)—dinitrogen-reductase ADP-D-ribosyltransferase explained

NAD+-dinitrogen-reductase ADP-D-ribosyltransferase
Ec Number:	2.4.2.37
Cas Number:	117590-45-1
Go Code:	0030701

In enzymology, a NAD+-dinitrogen-reductase ADP-D-ribosyltransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

NAD⁺ + [dinitrogen reductase]

\rightleftharpoons nicotinamide + ADP-D-ribosyl-[dinitrogen reductase]

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are NAD⁺ and dinitrogen reductase, whereas its two products are nicotinamide and ADP-D-ribosyl-[dinitrogen reductase].

This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the pentosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is NAD+:[dinitrogen reductase] (ADP-D-ribosyl)transferase. Other names in common use include NAD-azoferredoxin (ADPribose)transferase, and NAD-dinitrogen-reductase ADP-D-ribosyltransferase.
