Summary:Background information, laboratory procedures, and discussion of results are provided for experiments designed to familiarize students with the biochemistry of nicotinamide coenzymes and the chemistry involved in their reactions. In addition, students are exposed to ultraviolet (UV)-spectroscopy as a tool for investigating reaction mechanisms in organic and biochemistry. (Author/JN)
