Why is magnesium important to living organisms?
magnesium is important because we use in fire work and also we use to make a phone and laptop to make it shinny and beautiful.
Do chlorophyll contain magnesium?
Essentially, yes. Chlorophyll contain four pyrrole rings known as a porphyrin ring, which are linked to each other by methane bridges. Each of these pyrrole rings consists of five atoms - four carbon and one nitrogen. The nitrogen atom has magnesium in the center, as the nucleus. Magnesium functions as an enzyme cofactor during photosynthesis, making it particularly important to the production of ATP
What is the cofactor found on yeast?
.its trypsin
How many ATP are produced for glycolysis and in glycolysis?
It takes 3 carbon compounds produced for glycolysis and in glycolysis.
What binds to the enzyme and plays a role in catalyst?
cofactor
What is the function of magnesium chloride in peroxidase extraction?
Mg2+ is a cofactor of the enzyme peroxidase. In order to keep the enzyme active, this cofactor must be supplied. Magnesium chloride dissociates in solution into magnesium and chloride ions. The cofactor requirement is thus met
What do kinases typically require as a cofactor?
Magnesium
Role of magnesium chloride in PCR?
mgcl2 acts as a cofactor for the DNA polymerase used and is necessary for efficient functioning of the pcr
When was Cofactor Genomics created?
Cofactor Genomics was created in 2008.
What is a non-protein helper of an enzyme molecule called?
the general term is cofactor, but more specifically, if the cofactor is an organic molecule, it is called a coenzyme
Why is magnesium important to living organisms?
magnesium is important because we use in fire work and also we use to make a phone and laptop to make it shinny and beautiful.
Is ribosome a cofactor?
No .
What is the importance of Magnesium Chloride in PCR?
An essential cofactor for the DNA polymerase in PCR is Magnesium chloride. Its concentration must be optimized for every primer:template system. Many components of the reaction bind magnesium ion, including primers, template, PCR products and dNTPs. The main 1:1 binding agent for magnesium ion is the high concentration of dNTPs in the reaction. Because it is necessary for free magnesium ion to serve as an enzyme cofactor in PCR, the total magnesium ion concentration must exceed the total dNTP concentration. Typically, to start the optimization process, 1.5 mM magnesium chloride is added to PCR in the presence of 0.8 mM total dNTPs. This leaves about 0.7 mM free magnesium for the DNA polymerase. In general, magnesium ion should be varied in a concentration series from 1.5-4.0 mM in 0.5 mM steps.I just read somewhere that some PCR reagents require free Mg2+
What one of these stages occurs in the cytosol of the cell?
The process is Glycolysis!

What type of cofactor is most likely to be used by an enzyme that operates outside of a cell?
It is not possible to determine whether an enzyme requires a cofactor from these data.
