These cofactors, or coenzymes, provide additional functionality that extends considerably the scope of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Some cofactors (including the iron-porphyrin prosthetic groups of ...

To continue with catalysis in cofactor-independent oxygenases, the caged radicals recombine to form a peroxide intermediate. After these common steps, the peroxide or hydroperoxide can react in ...

CoQ10 is short for coenzyme Q10, a “vitamin-like substance” that occurs naturally in the human body and helps convert food into energy, researchers note. The highest levels of it are found in the ...

Coenzyme Q is a vital biochemical cofactor and antioxidant produced by the human body. Its deficiency can lead to muscle weakness, brain dysfunction, intellectual disability, and even cardiac issues.
