This compound reduces glutathione to minimize damage from reactive oxygen species, and neutrophils use its namesake oxidase during phagocytosis. In animals, this compound is made by the oxidative reactions of the pentose phosphate cycle. This compound and ATP convert 3PG to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. It has a 2 prime (*) phosphate group on its ribose sugar. This compound forms during non-cyclic, but not during cyclic, electron flow. Electrons liberated from photosystem I reduce this compound, a required coenzyme for the Calvin Cycle. For 10 points, name this dinucleotide used in photosynthesis, unlike NADH.
