Question
Chapter 24, Problem 15P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Three different cofactors that act as carriers of one carbon unit.
Concept introduction:
Cofactors are the chemical compounds, basically, metallic ions, that are required by the enzymes to increase their metallic activities. There are two types of cofactors, organic cofactors, and inorganic cofactors. Organic cofactors include heme, and flavin groups, while inorganic cofactors are metallic ions.
