FunctionFunction

NAD+ synthase (NADS) catalyzes the conversion of ATP, deamino-NAD+ and NH3 to AMP, NAD+ and diphosphate (PP). NADS is part of the NAD synthesis pathway[1] . See NAD.

Structural highlightsStructural highlights

The ATP binding site contains Mg+2 ion. The NAD binding site is located in the interface of the 2 subunits[2].
