Overview:

β-thionicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (β-Thio-NAD) is an analog of the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) (1). β-Thio-NAD is reduced to β thio-NADH.β-Thio-NAD It is used for various clinical chemistry applications including determining the levels of L-cartenine in serum by an enzymatic cycling method (2), ultrasensitive sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assays for detection of infectious disease (3).
