Coenzymes and cofactors are essential for metabolic processes, acting as critical partners for enzymes in biochemical reactions. To elucidate the roles of coenzymes and cofactors in metabolic pathways, researchers employ specialized assay kits. These kits are designed to accurately measure the concentrations of these molecules, thereby enabling the study of metabolic processes, disease mechanisms, and the optimization of biotechnological applications.
Assay Kit Features and Applications
- Throughput and Speed: Most kits require 1–2 hours, minimal sample prep, and are compatible with high-throughput systems.
- Sensitivity: Detection of low concentrations of coenzymes and cofactors.
- Disease Research: For example, CoA levels are altered in diabetes and alcoholism, while NAD+ depletion is linked to aging.
These assay kits are invaluable tools in both research and clinical settings, facilitating a deeper understanding of metabolic functions and the development of therapeutic strategies for various diseases. Therefore, we offer assays for NAD, NADP, FAD, Acetyl CoA, ATP and many such molecules.
