Question

Correctly match the Coenzyme with its respective involvement in a specific Reaction type.

 

• A. P-5; Q-2; R-4; S-3
• B. P-5; Q-1; R-2; S-3
• C. P-1; Q-2; R-4; S-5
• D. P-5; Q-3; R-1; S-2

Hint:

Understanding the role of coenzymes in biochemical reactions is important in biochemistry and helps explain enzyme-catalyzed processes.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understand the function of each coenzyme.

Thiamine pyrophosphate (P) is involved in aldehyde transfer reactions, specifically in decarboxylation reactions of alpha-keto acids.

Tetrahydrofolate (Q) is involved in the transfer of one-carbon groups, typically in reactions where carbon groups (like methyl or formyl groups) are transferred.

Flavin adenine dinucleotide (R) is a coenzyme involved in oxidation-reduction reactions, typically in the electron transport chain and various dehydrogenation reactions.

5′-Deoxyadenosyl cobalamin (S) is involved in methyl group transfer, especially in reactions catalyzed by methyltransferases.

Step 2: Match the coenzymes with the reactions.

P - 5: Thiamine pyrophosphate is involved in aldehyde transfer.
Q - 2: Tetrahydrofolate is involved in the transfer of one carbon group.
R - 4: Flavin adenine dinucleotide is involved in oxidation-reduction.
S - 3: 5′-Deoxyadenosyl cobalamin is involved in methyl group transfer.

Thus, the correct answer is \( \boxed{(A)} \).
