ROLE OF ENZYMES IN METABOLISM
Enzymes require a non-protein part for their optimal activity, which may be a coenzyme or a metal ion. This has also been stated earlier that many water soluble vitamins are acting as coenzymes in their native or derived forms. So, it is important to learn how the coepzymes are assisting different enzymes in catalyzing biochemical reactions. In this sub-section, you will learn about:
A) The chemical nature of different coenzymes, and
B) The general role of co-enzymes in assisting different enzymes during metabolism.
