Co-Enzyme
Definition
A Co-enzyme is a organic non-protein compound that bind with an enzyme to catalyze a reaction .
A coenzyme cannot function lonely but can be used several time when paired with an enzyme. coenzyme or small molecule they cannot be themselves catalyzed reaction they can help enzyme to do . in technical term coenzyme organic non-protein compound that bind with protein molecule to form the active enzyme a number of the water-soluble vitamins such as Vitamin B1 vitamin B2 Vitamin B6 are coenzyme.
Function of co-enzyme
A enzyme without a coenzyme is called as a apoenzyme (it is an inactive enzyme) without coenzyme and cofactor cannot catalyzed reaction when enzyme with add coenzyme is called as holoenzyme (enzyme + coenzyme = active organic compounds or active enzyme) they are attached to a portion of the active site on enzyme which enable the catalyzed reaction.
E.g.- the molecule of ATP can function as a coenzyme when phosphate group is removed turning ATP to ADP energy is released since may chemical reaction required energy cell can use to give energy to the reaction .
Uses
Coenzyme Q10 is most commonly used for that affect the heart failure CHF (congestive heart failure) and fluid build in the body, chest Pain (Angina pectoris) and high pressure. it is also used for preventing migraine , headache, Parkinson disease and many other condition. coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin like substance found throughout the body but especially in liver ,kidney ,heart and endocrine system it is eat in a small amount of meat , seafood . coenzyme Q10 can also be made in laboratory . coenzyme Q10 was first identified in 1957.
