Chapter 23, Problem 23.39EP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To identify the subunit that involves a B vitamin in the six-subunit block diagram for CoA.

Concept introduction: Coenzymes are non-protein organic compounds that are used along with the enzymes and help to carry forward the reaction. Coenzymes cannot perform on their own alone. CoA is also an example of the coenzyme.

Coenzyme A (CoA) is utilized in various metabolic reactions. The functions of coenzyme A include oxidation of pyruvate in the citric cycle and fatty acid oxidation. The main function of coenzyme A is to transfer the acetyl group in various metabolic pathways. The structure of coenzyme A is:

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
During the overall process of glycolysis, in which of the following occurs for each glucose molecule processed. net loss of two ATP molecules net loss of four ATP molecules net gain of two ATP molecules net gain of four ATP molecules
Why is the conversion of lactic acid from the blood into glucose in the liver in an organism’s best interest?
Fatty acids and triglycerides are an important source of nutrition and a dense form of stored energy. Digestion of fats yields more energy per gram than digestion of carbohydrates. Each turn on the B-oxidation spiral results in the formation of a new acetyl COA molecule. This molecule can then be used to generate more energy in A) fatty acid synthesis B) ketolysis C) glycolysis D) tricarboxylic acid cycle E) oxidative phosphorylation
