  <name>Nicotinic acid</name>
  <description>Nicotinic acid, also known as niacin or vitamin B3, is a derivative of pyridine, with a carboxyl group (COOH) at the 3-position. Other forms of vitamin B3 include the corresponding amide, nicotinamide ("niacinamide"), where the carboxyl group has been replaced by a carboxamide group (CONH2), as well as more complex amides and a variety of esters. The uptake of nicotinic acid by Escherichia coli is dependent on the presence of the enzyme nicotinic acid phosphoribosyl transferase and a source of energy.</description>

      <name>NAD salvage</name>
      <description>Even though NAD molecules are not consumed during oxidation reactions, they have a relatively short half-life. For example, in E. coli the NAD+ half-life is 90 minutes. Once enzymatically degraded, the pyrimidine moiety of the molecule can be recouped via the NAD salvage cycles. This pathway is used for two purposes: it recycles the internally degraded NAD products nicotinamide D-ribonucleotide (also known as nicotinamide mononucleotide, or NMN) and nicotinamide, and it is used for the assimilation of exogenous NAD+.


NAD reacts spontaneously with water resulting in the release of hydrogen ion, AMP and beta-nicotinamide D-ribonucleotide. This enzyme can either interact spontaneously with water resulting in the release of D-ribofuranose 5-phosphate, hydrogen ion and Nacinamide. On the other hand beta-nicotinamide D-ribonucleotide can also react with water through NMN amidohydrolase resulting in ammonium, and Nicotinate beta-D-ribonucleotide. Also it can interact with water spontaneously resulting in the release of phosphate resulting in a Nicotinamide riboside.
Niacinamide interacts with water through a nicotinamidase resulting in a release of ammonium and nicotinic acid. This compound interacts with water and phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate through an ATP driven nicotinate phosphoribosyltransferase resulting in the release of ADP, pyrophosphate and phosphate and nicotinate beta-D-ribonucleotide.
Nicotinamide riboside interacts with an ATP driven NadR DNA-binding transcriptional repressor and NMN adenylyltransferase (Escherichia coli) resulting in a ADP, hydrogen ion and beta-nicotinamide D-ribonucleotide. This compound interacts with ATP and hydrogen ion through NadR DNA-binding transcriptional repressor and NMN adenylyltransferase resulting in pyrophosphate and NAD. 
Nicotinate beta-D-ribonucleotide is adenylated through the interaction with ATP and a hydrogen ion through a nicotinate-mononucleotide adenylyltransferase resulting in pyrophosphate and Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide. Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide interacts with L-glutamine and water through an ATP driven NAD synthetase, NH3-dependent resulting in AMP, pyrophosphate, hydrogen ion, L-glutamic acid and NAD.

      <name>adenosylcobalamin salvage from cobinamide</name>
      <description>Cobinamide is incorporated from the extracellular space through a transport system into the cytosol. Once inside the cytosol, cobinamide interacts with ATP through a cobinamide adenosyl transferase resulting in the release of a triphosphate and an adenosylcobinamide. The latter compound is then phosphorylated through an ATP-dependent cobinamide kinase resulting in the release of ADP, a hydrogen ion and adenosyl-cobinamide phosphate. This last compound then interacts with GTP and a hydrogen ion through a cobinamide-P guanylyltransferase resulting in the release of a pyrophosphate and an adenosylcobinamide-GDP.

A dimethylbenzimidazole interacts with a nicotinate D-ribonucleotide through a nicotinate-nucleotide dimethylbenzumidazole phosphoribosyltransferase resulting in the release of a nicotinate, a hydrogen ion and an alpha-ribazole 5' phosphate.

The adenosylcobinamide-GDP and the alpha-ribazole 5' phosphate interact together through a cobalamin 5' phosphate synthase resulting in the release of a hydrogen ion, a GMP and Adenosylcobalamin 5'-phosphate. The latter compound then interacts with a water molecule through an adenosylcbalamin 5' phosphate phosphatase resulting in the release of a phosphate and a coenzyme B12.

Likewise a cobalamin molecule can interact with ATP through a cobalamin adenosyltransferase resulting in the release of a triphosphate and a coenzyme B12</description>
