NAD+ or oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a dinucleotide coenzyme composed of nicotinamide and adenine nucleotides joined through a pyrophosphate linkage. NAD+ participates in reversible redox chemistry with NADH and also serves as a substrate in several enzyme families studied in cellular biochemistry.
NAD+ is not a peptide. It should be described as a coenzyme / nucleotide research material whose scientifically relevant characteristics include redox state, purity, degradation, cofactor activity, and analytical identity.
