Q36 / 465 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Chemistry · Biomolecules

Which of the following vitamins is found in the co-enzymes NAD and NADP?

  • A
    Riboflavin
  • B
    Thiamine
  • Correct answer
    C
    Niacin
  • D
    Retinol

Solution

Co-enzymes are also organic compounds but their association with the apoenzyme is only transient, usually occurring during the course of catalysis. Furthermore, co-enzymes serve as co-factors in a number of different enzyme catalyzed reactions. The essential chemical components of many coenzymes are vitamins, e.g., coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and NADP contain the vitamin niacin.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
