Question

1.Covalently linked alpha-L-amino acids (polypeptides) may have associated with that polypeptide, which of the following?

a.Cofactors - functional non-amino acid component metal ions or organic molecules

b.Coenzymes - organic cofactors as NAD+ in lactate dehydrogenase

c.Prosthetic groups - covalently attached cofactors as heme in myoglobin

d.All of these may be associated with a polypeptide

a.Cofactors - functional non-amino acid component metal ions or organic molecules

b.Coenzymes - organic cofactors as NAD+ in lactate dehydrogenase

c.Prosthetic groups - covalently attached cofactors as heme in myoglobin

d.All of these may be associated with a polypeptide

Explanation / Answer

Well all of these may be associated with a polypeptide.
Ie.

Cofactors - functional non-amino acid component metal ions or organic molecules

Coenzymes - organic cofactors as NAD+ in lactate dehydrogenase

Prosthetic groups - covalently attached cofactors as heme in myoglobin

Like the covalently linked alpha L amino acids

Hencw option D is correct
