A. Marcinek et al., Hydrogen-transferred radical cations of NADH model compounds. 2. Sequential electron-proton addition to NAD(+), J PHYS CH A, 104(4), 2000, pp. 718-723
Sequential electron-proton addition to different NAD(+) model compounds was
studied by pulse radiolysis. Under mildly acidic conditions, the radicals
obtained by reduction of the cations are protonated at the carbonyl group.
The pK(a) values of the resulting enol radical cations were determined. The
same enol radical cations can also be formed via a deprotonation - reproto
nation process from the keto radical cations of the corresponding NADH mode
l compounds.
