    This document summarizes common coenzymes and their functions: (1) Biotin transfers carboxyl groups, (2) FAD and FMN are common hydrogen acceptors/donors that transfer two hydrogens, (3) NAD and NADP are common hydrogen carriers that transfer two hydrogens, with NAD used in catabolic reactions and NADP in anabolic reactions, (4) Lipoic acid functions as a hydrogen or acyl carrier.

    Common coenzymes: o (1) Biotin transfers carboxyl groups (CO2) o (2) FAD and FMN common hydrogen acceptor/donor

    or transfers two hydrogens at a time, both attached to riboflavin portion o (3) NAD and NADP common hydrogen transfer transfers two hydrogens, but only one is covalently linked to the enzyme NAD => NADH + H(H3O) note: - catabolic reactions typically use NAD reactions - anabolic reactions typically use NADH reactions o (4) Lipoic acid functions as hydrogen OR acyl carrier o (5) Folate (tetrahydrofolic acid) carries around carbons (methyl, methylene, methenyl, formyl) DNA synthesis (make DNA by purines and pyrimidines) important in anti-metabolite drugs o (6) Cobamide two reactions use cobamide: methylation of homocysteine to form methionine (important in interrupting cellular replication; see in pernicious anemias) conversation of methylmaloynl-CoA to succinyl-CoA (nerve functioning) o (7) Pyridoxal phosphate amino acid formation aldehyde formation in Schiff bases Schiff base = amine + an aldehyde/ketone used to conjugate a monosaccharide onto a protein o (8) Thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP) active in decarboxylation reactions of alpha-ketoacids o (9) Coenzyme A derivative of pantothenic acid thiol (-SH) group acts as the acyl carrier by forming a thioester bond can carry a compound with any carboxyl group
