Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate is the full form of NADP..
__________
- It receives electrons and atom of hydrogen and becomes NADPH.
- NADP+ is produced in anabolic reactions or the reaction that develops large molecules from small molecules.
- A major role of NADP is its role as co-enzyme in cellular electron transfer reactions.
- Moreover, the cell spends a significant amount of energy to keep NADP in its reduced form, thereby maintaining a readily available pool of electrons to reduce oxidized compounds.
- During these light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, a chemical called NADP picks up two hydrogen atoms from water molecules forming NADPH2, a powerful reducing agent that is used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose during the dark reactions of photosynthesis..
