Chapter 24, Problem 25P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: For the given reaction, the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction and the required coenzyme should be named.

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.
