Abstract:
... Bacillus stearothermophilus H-804 isolated from a hot spring in Beppu, Japan, produced an ammonia-specific NAD synthetase (EC 6.3.1.5). The enzyme specifically used NH₃ as an amide donor for the synthesis of NAD as it formed AMP and pyrophosphate from deamide-NAD and ATP. None of the l-amino acids tested, such as l-asparagine or l-glutamine, or other amino compounds such as urea, uric acid, or cre ...
