We report on the chemical preparation of the NAD+ analog P1, P2-(5'-beta-nicotinamideribofuranosyl-3"-adenosyl)-diphosphate (N3"AD+) by applying the 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole activation method. The importance of how adenosine is linked to the nicotinamide mononucleotide phosphoriboride (NMNPR+) moiety is discussed with respect to the coenzyme activity in the lactate dehydrogenase catalyzed reaction.
