- H CH3 H₂C-N-CH₂-C-CH₂- CH3 OH The reason that this compound is required in the diet of humans is that it: O is part of the coenzyme A molecule. O helps fatty acids cross the inner mitochondrial membrane. O is involved in the reoxidation of cytosolic NADH under anaerobic conditions. O is a precursor of one of the most important oxidizing agents in cells. O is part of the flavin adenine dinucleotide molecule.
