Regeneration of NAD(H) covalently bound to formate dehydrogenase with several second enzymes

Summary N ⁶-N-(6-Aminohexyl)carbamoylmethyl]-NAD was covalently bound to formate dehydrogenase. The formate dehydrogenase-NAD complex, which contained 0.2 mol of reactive NAD moiety per subunit, functioned as an NAD(H)-regeneration system for a second coupled reaction involving one of the following enzymes; lactate, malate, alanine and leucine dehydrogenases, whose reductive reactions proceeded stoichiometrically in the absence of exogenous NAD.
