Why is coenzyme A a sulfur containing molecule derived from a B vitamin added?
to provide a relatively unstable molecule whose acetyl portion can readily bind to oxaloacetate
An example of a coenzyme?
Vitamin K is also a coenzyme.
Is riboflavin an example of a coenzyme?
A coenzyme is a nonprotein compound that is loosely bound to an enzyme. In humans, the element copper is considered as a coenzyme.
What compound that is derived from glucose actually enters the Krebs cycle?
Acetyl-Coenzyme A (Acetyl-CoA) is the compound the enters the Kreb's cycle and reacts with oxaloacetate. It is dervied from the pyruvate, produced in glycolysis, that has gone through decarboxylation and has conezyme A attached to it.
The coenzyme FAD is formed from what vitamin?
riboflavin
What is the coenzyme derived from pantothenic acid?
Pantothenic acid is converted into its active form Coenzyme A.
What are complex organic cofactors that are frequently derived from vitamins?
coenzyme
What are two examples of coenzymes used in cellular respiration?
Acetyl-CoA: CoA=Co-enzyme A; Coenzyme I, coenzyme II, coenzyme A and B-12 and coenzyme Q.
The basic function of a coenzyme?
A coenzyme helps an enzyme do its' work. Without the coenzyme, the enzyme will remain inactive.
Why is coenzyme A a sulfur containing molecule derived from a B vitamin added?
to provide a relatively unstable molecule whose acetyl portion can readily bind to oxaloacetate
An example of a coenzyme?
Vitamin K is also a coenzyme.
What is the molecule Acetyl coenzyme A a part of?
The metabolism process
How can coenzyme let you lose weight?
I'm not aware of any weight loss properties of Coenzyme Q10, or any other coenzyme.
What is Co A?
It is an important coenzyme for nutrition. CoA = coenzyme-A
How are apoenzyme and coenzyme and holoenzyme and confactor related?
Holoenzyme= Apoenzyme+ coenzyme
What role does coenzyme q10 play in human metabolism?
Coenzyme Q10 stimulates the lipid metabolism which in turn affects the body's ability to break down food into energy. http://www.hwize.com/coenzyme-q10/coenzyme-q10.html
What is the difference between a coenzyme and an apoenzyme?
A coenzyme is a non-protein organic molecule that is required for the activity of an enzyme, while an apoenzyme is the protein component of an enzyme without its cofactor or coenzyme. Together, a coenzyme and an apoenzyme form a holoenzyme that is fully functional.
