The nucleoid is a region of cytoplasm where the chromosomal DNA is located. It is not a membrane bound nucleus, but simply an area of the cytoplasm where the strands of DNA are found.Most bacteria have a single, circular chromosome that is responsible for replication, although a few species do have two or more.he function of a nucleoid is it contains genetic material and the DNA determines what proteins and enzymes an organism can synthesise.
9 pentose phosphate pathway (7). 1  1. Pentose Phosphate PathwayThree main functions:1) Supply the cell with NADPH in order to: a) provide reducing power for biosynthetic reactions.2  b) serve as a biochemical reductant (e.g., maintain glutathione levels).3  c) be utilized by the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase system. 1.

Catalyzes reactions in the Calvin cycle, glucose synthesis. biosynthetic and energy-producing functions of NADP + and NAD + . NAD + and NADP + act as electron acceptors in oxidoreductase catalyzed reactions; NADH and NADPH act as electron donors. The transfer of hydrogen to NAD + is stereospecific, and dehydrogenases are now classified as H A side or H B side enzymes, according to the side of the NAD molecule they act on.
