KROK 1 2008 – Question 80 · KROK (Medicine) · Biological Chemistry
Vitamin B1 deficiency results in disturbance of oxidative decarboxylation of α-ketoglutaric acid. This will disturb synthesis of the following coenzyme:
- A. Lipoic acid
- B. Coenzyme A
- C. Flavine adenine dinucleotide (FAD)
- D. Thiamine pyrophosphate
- E. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)
Hint
Ask which active coenzyme form is made directly from the deficient vitamin by phosphorylation, and is needed by the first enzyme of the α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
