Question

Full form of FAD, FMN, NAD, NADP?

Answer 1

FAD:

1. The term "FAD" means Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide.
2. ATP and riboflavin combine to form FAD.
3. It acts as a cofactor for enzymes.

FMN:

1. The term "FMN" means Flavin Mono Nucleotide.
2. FMN that is also known as riboflavin 5′-phosphate is formed by the phosphorylation of riboflavin(Vitamin B₂) with ATP.
3. Vitamin B₂ elevates the production of cellular energy.

NAD:

1. The term "NAD" means Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide.
2. It is formed by Niacin.
3. Niacin is also known as Vitamin B₃.
4. Vitamin B₃ enhances the development of cellular energy and cardiovascular health.

NADP:

1. The term "NADP" means Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate.
2. NADP converts to NADPH after receiving an electron and an atom of hydrogen.
3. The anabolic reaction produces NADP⁺.
