Question

Which of the following coenzyme is a derivative of pantothenic acid?

• A. NAD
• B. NADP
• C. FAD
• D. Co-A

Answer 1

The correct option is D Co-A

Coenzymes act as a transient carriers of specific functional groups. Most are derived from vitamins, organic nutrients required in small amounts in the diet. For example Coenzyme A is derived from pantothenic acid and other compounds; 5-deoxyadenosylcobalamin is coenzyme form of vitamin B${}_{12}$ (coenzyme B${}_{12}$); flavin adenine dinucleotide is derived from vitamin riboflavin (vitamin B${}_2$).
