Iron in metalloenzymes
• Iron undergoes reversible oxidation and reduction:
Fe3+ + e- (reduced substrate)
Fe2+ + (oxidized substrate)
• Enzyme heme groups and cytochromes contain iron
• Nonheme iron exists in iron-sulfur clusters (iron is
bound by sulfide ions and S- groups from cysteines)
• Iron-sulfur clusters can accept only one e- in a reaction

• Iron atoms are complexed
with an equal number of
sulfide ions (S2-) and with
thiolate groups of Cys side
chains

Reactions of ATP, a metabolite coenzyme
• ATP is a versatile reactant that can donate its:
(1) Phosphoryl group (g-phosphate)
(2) Pyrophosphoryl group (g,b phosphates)
(3) Adenylyl group (AMP)
(4) Adenosyl group

SAM synthesis
• ATP is also a source of other metabolite coenzymes such as Sadenosylmethionine (SAM)
• SAM donates methyl groups in many biosynthesis reactions
Methionine + ATP
S-Adenosylmethionine + Pi + PPi

S-Adenosylmethionine (SAM) is a methyl
donor in many biosynthetic reactions
• SAM donates the methyl group for the
synthesis of the hormone epinephrine from
norepinephrine

Vitamin-Derived Coenzymes and Nutrition
• Vitamins are required for coenzyme synthesis. Animals must
obtain vitamins from diet. (Plants, microorganisms, meat)
• Most vitamins are enzymatically transformed to the coenzyme

Box 7.2 Vitamin C: a vitamin
but not a coenzyme
• A reducing reagent for hydroxylation of collagen
• Deficiency leads to the disease scurvy
• Most animals (not primates) can synthesize Vit C

NAD+ and NADP+
• Nicotinic acid (niacin) is precursor of NAD+ and NADP+
• Lack of niacin causes the disease pellagra
• Humans obtain niacin from cereals, meat, legumes

NAD+ and NADP+ are cosubstrates
for dehydrogenases
• Oxidation by NAD+ and NADP+ occurs two electrons at a time
• Dehydrogenases transfer a hydride ion (H:-) from a substrate to
pyridine ring C-4 of NAD+ or NADP+
• The net reaction is: NAD(P)+ + 2e- + 2H+
NAD(P)H + H+

FAD and FMN
• Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and Flavin
mono-nucleotide (FMN) are derived from
riboflavin (Vitamin B2)
• Flavin coenzymes are involved in oxidationreduction reactions for many enzymes
(flavoenzymes or flavoproteins)
• FAD and FMN catalyze one or two electron
transfers

Coenzyme A (CoA or HS-CoA)
• Derived from the vitamin pantothenate (Vit B3)
• Participates in acyl-group transfer reactions with
carboxylic acids and fatty acids
• CoA-dependent reactions include
oxidation of fuel molecules and
biosynthesis of carboxylic acids
and fatty acids
• Acyl groups are covalently
attached to the -SH of CoA
to form thioesters

Thiamine Pyrophosphate (TPP)
• TPP is a derivative of thiamine (Vitamin B1)
• TPP participates in reactions of:
(1) Decarboxylation
(2) Oxidative decarboxylation

Pyridoxal Phosphate (PLP)
• PLP is derived from Vit B6 family of vitamins
• Vitamin B6 is phosphorylated to form PLP
• PLP is a prosthetic group for enzymes catalyzing reactions
involving amino acid metabolism (isomerizations,
decarboxylations, side chain eliminations or replacements)

Biotin
(Why you shouldn’t eat raw eggs!)
• Biotin is required in very small amounts because it is available
from intestinal bacteria. Avidin (egg protein) binds biotin very
tightly and may lead to a biotin deficiency (cooking eggs
denatures avidin so it does not bind biotin)
• Enzymes using biotin as a prosthetic group catalyze :
(1) Carboxyl-group transfer reactions
(2) ATP-dependent carboxylation reactions
