NAD nucleosidase (NAD glycohydrolase, EC 3.2.2.5) activity in Agkistrodon bilineatus venom was observed. Using the cyanide assay method at pH 7.9, lyophilized crude venom had an activity of 0.19 units/mg. Chromatography of the crude venom on DEAE Sephadex A-50 with ammonium acetate buffer by two stage elution yielded 13 fractions. Peak NAD nucleosidase activity occurred at Fraction X. Crude venom and Fraction X NAD nucleosidase activities were thermolabile.
