Category:NADPH-dependent enzymes

This category groups enzymes that use nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADP⁺ and its reduced form, NADPH) in redox reactions. See also Cat:NADH-dependent enzymes.

What is the Correct Way to Check Repeatability in Balances?

In general, the NADP is not stably associated with the enzyme, being a coenzyme; hence, we call such enzymes "NADPH-dependent" enzymes, rather than simply "NADPH enzymes". By contrast, more stably bound ligands such as heme or iron-sulfur clusters are cofactors; thus, one speaks of "heme enzymes" or "iron-sulfur proteins".
