Hi guys,
Im new here so I am going to get right to it. Excuse my grammer I am on my mobile.
So I am trying to understand the difference in absorbance spectra of NAD+ and NADH. I have seen this touched on on this site but not directly answered.
NAD+, with an apparent two aromatic structures, produces one spectral peak.
NADH, with an apparent singular aromatic structures, produces two spectral peaks.
Now I believe for abs. a molecule must have aromatic structures... I have a feeling perhaps resonance structures in both molecules are causing the number of spectra not to match the number of aromatic structures?
What are your thoughts?
