     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.

   Gastrointestinal agent Gastrointestinal agents are drug which produce different effect in the gastrointestinal tract. Medications for gastrointestinal diseases and symptoms include prescription and nonprescription drugs, conventional and unconventional agents, simple small molecules, complex macromolecules and large recombinant proteins. These medications are can be classified based upon their use: drugs for nausea and vomiting (antiemetics), prokinetic agents, laxatives, antidiarrheal agents, drugs for acid peptic disease, drugs for irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease and, of course, miscellaneous. Agents used for gastrointestinal disease rarely cause liver injury. One reason for this is that they are often locally active and result in little systemic exposure. The immunomodulatory agents used to treat inflammatory bowel disease are an exception, being given systemically, often intravenously and capable of causing liver injury, although not very frequently.

Sodium thio sulphate : Preparation , physical & chemical properties , pharmaceutical uses , storage condition.

   Sodium Thio Sulphate [Na₂S₂O₃.5H₂O] Sodium thio sulphate is used as a medication to treat cyanide poisoning, pityriasis versicolor, and to decrease side effects from cisplatin. For cyanide poisoning it is often used after the medication sodium  nitrite and typically only recommended for severe cases. Preparation * It can also prepared by passing sulphur dioxide into sodium sulphide. 2Na₂S + 3SO₂  → 2Na₂S₂O₃ + 1/2 S₂ * one half of a concentrated solution of sodium carbonate is saturated with Sulphur dioxide and the other half added to it then sodium sulphide is formed. Na₂CO₃ + 2SO₂ + H₂O → 2NaHSO₃ + CO₂ Na₂CO₃  +  2NaHSO → 2Na₂S₂O₃  + H₂O + CO↑ Physical property * it is colourless odourless and transparent crystalline powder. * it have bitter taste. * it is very soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol. * it have melting point 56℃. *In its anhydrous form, sodium thiosulfate has a molar mass of 158.11 grams per mole. The more commonly available pentahydrate from, Na 2 S 2 O 3 .5H 2

Sulphur Dioxide : Preparation , Physical and Chemical property , uses and Storage condition.

   Sulphur Dioxide                     [SO₂] Overview Sulfur dioxide is a respiratory irritant that is highly soluble in the aqueous surfaces of the respiratory airways. Because of this high solubility, most of the sulfur dioxide is absorbed in the nose and upper airways and very little reaches the lungs directly. Inhalation of high ambient concentrations of sulfur dioxide can cause stimulation of the nerves in the air passages, resulting in a reflex cough, irritation, and chest tightness. At extremely high concentrations, the death or pathological changes including laryngotracheal and pulmonary edema can be induced in the respiratory tract of experimental animals. The gas is quite corrosive and can also cause damage to buildings and other materials. It is very acidic *preparation* Sulphur dioxide is prepared by the reaction of metallic sulphide or metallic by sulphite with dilute acid.  or  Sulphur Dioxide is prepared by the action of dilute sulphuric acid or sulphite.
