When the enzyme is inhibited by methotrexate, the cellular levels of folate coenzymes diminish.
In general, the electron donor is any of a wide variety of flavoenzymes and their coenzymes.
This coenzyme contains electrons that have a high transfer potential; in other words, they will release a large amount of energy upon oxidation.
The active sight is found in each subunit between the two distinct // globular domains, the substrate binding domain and the coenzyme binding domain.
This gives them an advantage over other enzymes that can only use a single form of the coenzyme.
Metabolism and coenzyme function of the vitamin suggest a distinctive function for thiamin within the nervous system.
This discovery was used to re-engineer coenzyme specificities of enzymes.
Pyridoxal phosphate generally serves as a coenzyme for many reactions and can help facilitate decarboxylation, transamination, racemization, elimination, replacement and beta-group interconversion reactions.
