A fatty acid derivative and lysine
Activated carriers/coenzymes involved in the movement of acyl groups (i.e. ligases)
CoASH and lipoamide
Building blocks of TPP
Vitamin B1 and 2 phosphates
Activated carrier/coenzyme involved in the movement of aldehyde groups (i.e. ligase)
TPP
Activated carrier/coenzyme involved in the movement of carbon dioxides (i.e. ligase)
Biotin
In terms of cooperativity: nh = 1 means
No cooperativity (i.e. therefore sites are independent)
In terms of cooperativity: nh > 1 means
Positive cooperativity that is affinity increases
In terms of cooperativity: 0< nh < 1 means
Negative cooperativity that is affinity decreases
