What is the actual form of 'bound niacin' in unprocessed corn?

I am trying to find out how the niacin is 'bound' in unprocessed corn as in what chemical form. In detail, I want to understand how processing the raw form of corn such as nixtamalization and boiling 'unbinds' the niacin into more easily absorbable form for humans and animals. In another words, I want to know the chemical form of 'bound form of niacin' which turns into the chemical form of 'unbound form of niacin' via some type of post-harvest processing.

I read through Maize in human nutrition (Food and Agriculture Organization oF the United Nations, 1992: https://www.fao.org/4/T0395E/T0395E00.htm) to find out what I want, but I could not really find the information I want.

Does anyone know about this?

Thanks.

I bought a wheel bearing assembly for my 2009 Volvo XC70 off of eBay and my mechanic told me that the outer diameter of the bearing is larger than the knuckle where the bearing fits. I made sure the fitment guide from the sellers item page and I even cross referenced the part numbers from rockauto.com. Even the items on Autozone and Advanced auto is showing pretty much the same dimension. My mechanic told me that previous owner of the car might have changed the entire knuckle assembly, but I don't think that is likely since there was a generation change from year 2008 to 2009 for XC70 and the previous owner was the original owner of the vehicle.

Does any body have experience in changing their wheel bearings? Thanks.
