Adenine, Ribose, 3 phosphate group
How can metabolic pathways be turned off?
3 ways
- Alternating the conformation of the enzymes
- Either binding o disassociation of Cofactors
- End product of pathway binding to enzyme
What do coenzymes do
Accept electrons from one enzyme in a metabolic pathway and deliver it to another
organic nonprotein molecules that bind with the protein molecule (apoenzyme) to form the active enzyme (holoenzyme)
Coenzymes
Nicotineamideadenine dinucleotide (NAD), nicotineamide adenine dinucelotide phosphate (NADP), and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)
What are they and what do they do
They are coenzymes that are responsible for the oxidation or hydrogen transfer
