Source-derived summary

In enzymology, a NAD+-dinitrogen-reductase ADP-D-ribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.37) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

NAD+ + [dinitrogen reductase]

⇌

{\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }

nicotinamide + ADP-D-ribosyl-[dinitrogen reductase]

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are NAD+ and dinitrogen reductase, whereas its two products are nicotinamide and ADP-D-ribosyl-[dinitrogen reductase].

This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the pentosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is NAD+:[dinitrogen reductase] (ADP-D-ribosyl)transferase. Other names in common use include NAD-azoferredoxin (ADPribose)transferase, and NAD-dinitrogen-reductase ADP-D-ribosyltransferase.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “NAD(+)—dinitrogen-reductase ADP-D-ribosyltransferase” as interPro Family. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1989—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where dinitrogen-reductase, ADP-D-ribosyltransferase and InterPro can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as interPro Family. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 3, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q24777126. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1989.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
