Reduction of NAD and NMN on mineral surfaces with H2 reveals a functional role for the AMP moiety in a prebiotic context - Communications Chemistry The evolutionary role of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) in cofactors like NAD remains poorly understood. Here, the authors reveal that the AMP moiety protects NAD from overreduction in hydrothermal and...
