Show abstract
Redox cofactors are a key part of cellular physiology as they are involved in most metabolic pathways, and their ratios are linked to cellular robustness. However, measuring their levels in cells remains a challenge. Here, we describe a novel method to rapidly measure NAD(H), NADP(H) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) levels and their oxidized/reduced ratios using an HPLC connected to a fluorescence detector. By extensively characterizing this method and benchmarking it against the classical iodonitrotetrazolium (INT) assay, we show that this method results in accurate and reproducible measurements of NAD+, NADP+ and NMN levels in bacteria. We further demonstrate that this method can be used to determine intracellular NADH and NADPH concentrations and ratios of nicotinamide nucleotide cofactors in engineered Escherichia coli strains, as well as other bacterial species such as Pseudomonas putida.
