The co-enzyme NAD is made up of?
Correct answer: C. Nucleotides
- A. Vitamins
- B. Amino acids
- C. Nucleotides
- D. Sugar
Explanation
NAD (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme that plays a central role in various cellular processes, including energy metabolism, DNA repair, and cellular signalling. It is composed of two nucleotides:1. Adenine nucleotide (derived from vitamin B3, Niacin)2. Nicotinamide nucleotide (derived from vitamin B3, Niacin)NAD is formed by the condensation of these two nucleotides, making it a dinucleotide.

About Conjugated Molecules
Conjugated molecules contain a non-protein component attached to a protein portion, giving the molecule properties that a simple protein lacks. The content includes glycoproteins, lipoproteins, phosphoproteins, nucleoproteins, chromoproteins and metalloproteins, with attention to their prosthetic groups and roles in transport, protection, catalysis and cellular structure.
