Coenzyme a Biochemistry: From Neurodevelopment to Neurodegeneration
Coenzyme A (CoA) is an essential cofactor in all living organisms. It is involved in a large number of biochemical processes functioning either as an activator of molecules with carbonyl groups or as a carrier of acyl moieties.

Atherosclerosis and Coenzyme Q10 [PDF]
Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of cardiac deaths worldwide. Classically, atherosclerosis has been explained as a simple arterial lipid deposition with concomitant loss of vascular elasticity. Eventually, this condition can lead to consequent blood flow reduction through the affected vessel.

Insights into molecular mechanisms of disease in Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation; unifying theories. [PDF]
Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) is a group of disorders characterised by dystonia, parkinsonism and spasticity. Iron accumulates in the basal ganglia and may be accompanied by Lewy bodies, axonal swellings and hyperphosphorylated ...

Isolation of an Enzyme-Coenzyme A Intermediate from Succinyl Coenzyme A-Acetoacetate Coenzyme A Transferase [PDF]
Abstract An alkali-labile enzyme-coenzyme A intermediate has been isolated by molecular exclusion chromatography of succinyl-CoA-acetoacetate coenzyme A transferase after incubation with acetoacetyl-CoA or succinyl-CoA. Treatment of the intermediate with tritium-labeled sodium borohydride results in enzyme inactivation and incorporation of ...

A revised nomenclature for mammalian acyl-CoA thioesterases/hydrolases
Acyl-CoA thioesterases, also known as acyl-CoA hydrolases, are a group of enzymes that hydrolyze CoA esters such as acyl-CoAs (saturated, unsaturated, branched-chain), bile acid-CoAs, CoA esters of prostaglandins, etc., to the corresponding free acid and

Remnants of an ancient metabolism without phosphate [PDF]
Phosphate is essential for all living systems, serving as a building block of genetic and metabolic machinery. However, it is unclear how phosphate could have assumed these central roles on primordial Earth, given its poor geochemical accessibility.
