What is Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate?
'''NADP''' ('''nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate''') (formula C<sub>21</sub>H<sub>29</sub>N<sub>7</sub>O<sub>17</sub>P<sub>3</sub>) is a [[coenzyme]] that carries electrical energy used in cellular processes. When a hydrogen atom is added, NADP becomes charged and is renamed NADPH. NADP is used extensively during the Krebs (citric acid) cycle and during [[glycolysis]] and in the [[light-dependent reaction]]s of photosynthesis. {{science-stub}} [[Category:Cellular respiration]] [[Category:Organonitrogen compounds]] [[Category:Phosphates]]
