ENZYMATIC SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SYNTHESIZING NICOTINAMIDE MONONUCLEOTIDE AND NICOTINIC ACID MONONUCLEOTIDE

摘要

Enzyme-based systems and methods for synthesizing the NAD precursors NMN and NaMN are disclosed. Such methods and systems utilize a mutated form of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase (PRS) that is superactive and/or other enzyme or enzyme combinations that are immobilized onto a solid surface. The methods and systems substantially increase the efficiency and yield of NAD precursor synthesis.
