NADHist

NADHist is a web-based repository and analysis platform that curates historical information related to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) research. It aims to document the discovery, naming, chemical properties, and evolving understanding of NAD and its redox partners, including NADH, NADP, and NAD-dependent enzymes. The resource covers milestones in biochemistry, pharmacology, and medical research, and links to primary sources such as publications, datasets, and patents.

Content and organization: NADHist organizes records as publications, datasets, protocols, and high-level event items. Each record includes metadata, provenance, and links to related objects. The platform aggregates data from bibliographic databases, institutional archives, and user-contributed materials, with automated validation and curator review to maintain accuracy.

Features: advanced search, filter by time period, institution, researcher, or keyword; timeline and network visualizations; entity mapping for compounds, enzymes, and pathways; and an API for programmatic access. It supports data export in standard bibliographic and research-data formats.

Access and governance: NADHist is maintained by an international consortium of libraries, archives, and scientific societies. It emphasizes open access and data sharing, with licensing that typically permits academic use and requires attribution. Community curation and periodic audits help preserve consistency and reliability.

Impact and scope: by consolidating historical NAD-related information, NADHist supports researchers studying the history of biochemistry, NAD metabolism, and related therapies, and serves educators and students as a reference resource.
