Niacin: Metabolism to NAD and NADP

The video tutorial explains niacin, also known as vitamin B3, and its role in human metabolism. It covers the synthesis of niacin through the Dinovo pathway and its conversion into active coenzymes NAD and NADP. The tutorial also discusses the convergence of Dinovo and dietary pathways, the salvage pathway for NAD synthesis, and methods for detecting NADH using UV VIS spectrophotometry. An example of lactate dehydrogenase is used to illustrate enzyme activity measurement.
