In this study, using a model solution corresponding to the final medium composition of the NADP + enzymatic production, we present for the first time a sustainable and simple alternative membrane-based filtration process that readily provides NADP + in high purity. A membrane selection was first performed, and the GE membrane (Suez Water Technologies & Solutions (USA)) was shown to provide the best NADP + retention rate >80% at 4 bar. An enzymatic strategy based on the addition of a commercial ATP diphosphohydrolase (apyrase from potatoes) to the model solution significantly simplified the composition of the medium, resulting in a very good discrimination profile between NADP + and AMP retention (69.3% gap) on the one side, and NADP + and adenine (87.5% gap) on the other. These data allowed to predict a profile of purity and loss of NADP + as a function of diafiltration volume (DV). According to these predictions, a >90% purity could be achieved after only 4 DV, demonstrating that this membrane-based purification method achieves a very high purity rate of NADP + while being competitive compared to the other conventional methods currently used.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
