Question
Chapter 19, Problem 19.34AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Among the given vitamins, the vitamins which serve as cofactor should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Enzyme:
- It is a protein or a molecule which can act as a catalyst for a biological reaction.
- Does not affect the equilibrium point of the reaction.
- Active site of the enzyme is the region where the reaction takes place.
- Enzyme’s activity can be specific which means the activity is limited to a certain substrate and a certain type of reaction and it is referred to as specificity of the enzyme.
Cofactor: It is a non-protein part of an enzyme which is essential to the enzyme’s catalytic activity and it can be a cofactor or a coenzyme.
Coenzyme: It is an organic molecule that acts as an enzyme cofactor.
Vitamin: It is an organic molecule which is essential in trace amounts and it cannot be synthesized in the body. It must be obtained from the diet.
According to the solubility, vitamins can be classified into two:
- Water soluble vitamin
- Fat soluble vitamin
