In a terse manner, Niacin (B3) is used in the human body to form coenzymes NAD and NADP - two very important components that are involved in energy production. Pellagra is the main deficiency of Niacin.
NAD+ i think
how do coenzymes get into your body?
First, not every Enzyme needs vitmains for function but a lot. Vitamins serve as special components in an enzyme or a protein and fullfill functions that cannot be done by simple polypeptides.
Coenzymes has a complex structure. They are a group of co-factors that are tightly or loosely attached to enzymes.
oxidation of metabolites molecules and the corresponding reduction of coenzymes
Acting as coenzymes
Yes.
Coenzymes are small organic non-protein molecules that carry chemical groups between enzymes.[1] Coenzymes are sometimes referred to as cosubstrates. These molecules are substrates for enzymes and do not form a permanent part of the enzymes' structures.
Most vitamins are coenzymes needed to help the body utilize essential nutrients.
Coenzymes are made of mostly carbon molecules. These molecules get used and reused to carry various groups of chemicals to other enzymes.
