koenzimekként
Koenzīmekti are organic, non-protein molecules that are essential for the activity of many enzymes. They act as cofactors, meaning they bind to enzymes and are required for the enzyme to catalyze a specific biochemical reaction. Unlike prosthetic groups, which are tightly bound to an enzyme, coenzymes typically bind loosely and can be reused multiple times. Many coenzymes are derived from vitamins, which is why vitamins are considered essential nutrients. For example, B vitamins play a crucial role in the formation of various coenzymes.
Coenzymes participate in chemical reactions by accepting or donating specific atoms or functional groups. This transient
