5-Amino-1MQ vs NAD+
Neither is a peptide: 5-Amino-1MQ is a small quinolinium molecule (C10H11IN2, 286.11 g/mol, usually supplied as the iodide salt), and NAD+ is a dinucleotide coenzyme (C21H27N7O14P2, 663.43 g/mol).
NAD+ is more than twice the molecular weight of 5-Amino-1MQ and carries two phosphate groups, while 5-Amino-1MQ's formula includes its iodide counterion.
