• What are the 2 examples of co-enzyme and co-factors for each enzyme class ? Certainly! Here are two examples of coenzymes and two examples of cofactors for each major class of enzymes: 1. Oxidoreductases: Redox reactions Coenzymes: a. Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) b. Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide (FAD) Cofactors: a. Iron (Fe2+) b. Copper (Cu2+) 2. Transferases: Transfer of functional groups Coenzymes: a. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) b. S-Adenosylmethionine (SAM) Cofactors: a. Magnesium (Mg2+) b. Zinc (Zn2+) 3. Hydrolases: Cleavage by water molecule Coenzymes: a. Coenzyme A (CoA) b. Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate (NADP+) Cofactors: a. Zinc (Zn2+) b. Calcium (Ca2+) 4. Lyases: Group elimination to form double bond Coenzymes: a. Pyridoxal Phosphate (PLP) b. Biotin Cofactors: a. Manganese (Mn2+) b. Iron-sulfur clusters 5. Isomerases: Intermolecular transformation Coenzymes: a. Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) b. Flavin Mononucleotide (FMN) Cofactors: a. Magnesium (Mg2+) b. Cobalt (Co2+) 6. Ligases: Bond formation with help of ATP Coenzymes: a. Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) b. Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate (NADP+) Cofactors: a. Magnesium (Mg2+) b. Molybdenum (Mo) These examples represent a variety of coenzymes and cofactors commonly associated with enzymes from different classes. Keep in mind that specific enzymes within each class may require different coenzymes or cofactors based on their catalytic functions and the specific reactions they facilitate.
