photosynthetic NADP+ reduction

name: photosynthetic NADP+ reduction
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: An NADPH regeneration process that contributes to the light reactions of photosynthesis. The light reactions of photosynthesis use energy from photons to generate high-energy electrons. These electrons are used directly to reduce NADP+ to NADPH. NADPH is a relatively stable molecule and can pass on its hydrogen atom to other molecules in chemical reactions.
