General description

Nitrate reductase (NAD[P]H) is expressed in variety of organisms including bacteria, fungi, algae, and higher plants which have capacity to use nitrate as their sole source of nitrogen.Experimental studies show that nitrate reductase (NAD[P]H) is 180,000Daltons.[1]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nitrate Reductase (NAD[P]H) catalyzes the reduction of nitrate to nitrite. In addition, it also catalyzes the reduction of NADPH-cytochrome c, FADH2-nitrate. Nitrate reductase also has reduced methyl viologen-nitrate reductase activities.[1]

Caution

light and moisture sensitive

Unit Definition

One unit will reduce 1.0 μmole of nitrate per min in the presence of β-NADPH at pH 7.5 at 25 °C.

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) has NADH-specific and NAD(P)H-bispecific nitrate reductase isozymes. Four isogenic lines with different nitrate reductase isozyme combinations were used to determine the role of NADH and NAD(P)H nitrate reductases on nitrate transport and assimilation in barley seedlings.

Pyridine nucleotide-dependent nitrate reductases (NRs; EC 1.6.6.1-3) are molybdenum-containing enzymes found in eukaryotic organisms which assimilate nitrate. NR is a homodimer with an approximately 100 kDa polypeptide which folds into stable domains housing each of the enzyme's redox cofactors--FAD, heme-Fe

  1. How much does 2units weigh?

    1 answer

    1. The amount of solid provided will depend on the enzymatic activity reported on the lot-specific Certificate of Analysis. For example, lot SLCR1079 has the enzymatic activity value of 481 units per gram, thus the 2-unit package size would contain roughly 4.16 ug of solid.

      Please view the sample Certificate of Analysis below to see the enzymatic activity:
