Mechanism of inhibition of the human sirtuin enzyme SIRT3 by nicotinamide: computational and experimental studies.

Sirtuins are key regulators of many cellular functions including cell growth, apoptosis, metabolism, and genetic control of age-related diseases. Sirtuins are themselves regulated by their cofactor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) as well as their reaction product nicotinamide (NAM), the phy...
