Organic Chemistry 6th Edition Paula Yurkanis Bruice Chapter 25 The Organic Chemistry of the Coenzymes, Compounds Derived from Vitamins
Many enzymes catalyze a reaction with the help of a • cofactor. • Cofactors can be metal ions or organic molecules. • An enzyme that has a tightly bound metal ion is called a metalloenzyme. • Cofactors that are organic molecules are coenzymes. • Coenzymes are derived from vitamins.
The Pyridine Nucleotide Coenzyme Is Needed for Many Redox Reactions • NAD(P)+ are oxidizing agents. • NAD(P)H are reducing agents.
NAD+ is composed of two nucleotides linked together through their phosphate groups The adenine nucleotide portion of NAD+ is derived from ATP
Many enzymes that catalyze oxidation reactions are called dehydrogenase: NAD+ and NADH are catabolic coenzymes, whereas NADP+ and NADPH are anabolic coenzymes
Mechanisms for the pyridine nucleotide coenzymes: All the chemistry of the pyridine nucleotide coenzymes takes place at the 4-position of the pyridine ring
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase uses NAD+ as an oxidizing coenzyme:
The mechanism for reduction by NAD or by NADPH: NADH and NADPH are hydride donors
The structural complexity of a coenzyme is needed for • enzyme recognition. • Molecular recognition allows the enzyme to bind the • substrate and the coenzyme in the proper orientation for reaction. • Biological redox reactions are equilibrium reactions driven in the appropriate direction by the removal of reaction products.
A reducing enzyme can distinguish between the two hydrogens at the 4-position of the nicotinamide ring:
FAD and FMN are coenzymes used to oxidize substrates A flavoprotein is an enzyme that contains either FAD or FMN
FAD and FMN are oxidizing agents, whereas FADH2 and FMNH2 are reducing agents:
Two-electron transfer to the flavin ring Thiolate addition to 4aposition Mechanism for dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase:
Unlike NAD+ and NADH, FAD and FADH2 do not dissociate from the enzyme: But NAD+ is required to reoxidize the reduced cofactor
Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) is the coenzyme required by enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a two-carbon fragment:
The enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase requires thiamine pyrophosphate (TTP) as a coenzyme: TTP affords a nucleophilic ylide carbanion that facilitates decarboxylation:
Enamine intermediate Mechanism for pyruvate decarboxylase:
The conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA requires coenzymes TPP, lipoate, coenzyme A, FAD, and NAD+
Biotin is required by enzymes that catalyze the carboxylation of a carbon adjacent to a carbonyl group:
In addition to requiring bicarbonate, biotin-requiring enzymes require Mg2+ and ATP:
Mechanism for carboxylation of acetyl-CoA by acetyl-CoA carboxylase:
Pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) is required by enzymes that catalyze certain transformations of amino acids:
The first step of the reactions involves the breakage of the bond attached to Ca
Mechanism for PLP-catalyzed decarboxylation of an amino acid:
Mechanism for PLP-catalyzed racemization of an L-amino acid:
Mechanism for PLP-catalyzed transamination of an amino acid:
The bond cleaved in the first step depends on the conformation of the enzyme-bound amino acid
Enzymes that catalyze certain rearrangement reactions require coenzyme B12
In a coenzyme B12–requiring reaction, a group (Y) bonded to one carbon changes places with a hydrogen bonded to an adjacent carbon:
Mechanism for a coenzyme B12–requiring enzyme-catalyzed reaction:
Tetrahydrofolate (THF) is the coenzyme required for one-carbon transfer reactions:
GAR transformylase is an example of an enzyme that requires a THF-coenzyme:
