Interpretation:
The given options should be identified that whether they are found in the structure of coenzyme FAD.
Concept Introduction:
Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide
Coenzyme: They are non-proteins molecules which helps enzymes for catalyzing the reaction.
Enzyme: The proteins that helps
ADP contains adenine attached to sugar backbone and 2 phosphate groups get attached to five carbon atoms present in ribose. The structure is as follows,
Phosphate anhydride bond: The bond that keeps phosphate groups and ribose together is termed as phosphate anhydride bond.
Benzene: The molecule that has 6 carbon atoms present in a ring to which each carbon has one hydrogen atom with it.

- Indicate the FALSE alternative: a) The formation of osazones is a characteristic reaction of aldoses and ketoses. b) Disaccharides formed by aldoses with 1-1' linkages do not have reducing power or mutarotation. c) Glycosides have no reducing power. d) Glycosidic bonds allow the formation of branched structures. e) A characteristic of alditols is that they all have optical activity.arrow_forwardAlthough the first two carbons of fructose and glucose are identical in structure to DHAP and GADP (from glycolysis), DHAP and GADP equilibriate on their in solution to favor the ketone over the aldehyde, while fructose and glucose do not. Why? a)The larger size of the molecule sterically hinders the isomerization b)The larger sugars have more OH groups which hydrogen bond and disrupt isomerization c)The larger sugars cyclize, and there is no carbonyl to isomerize in the cyclic form d)The larger sugars cyclize, and in the cyclic form the hydrogen bonding is very strong e)The larger sugars are less soluble in water than the smaller sugarsarrow_forwardCeruloplasmin is a blue-colored monomeric oxidase found in mamma- lian blood plasma. It contains multiple copper atoms per mole- cule. A ribbon representation of its three-dimensional shape is shown below: a) b) c) Identify any cofactor(s) which ceruloplasmin may possess. How do you know? Does ceruloplasmin act as an enzyme ? Describe the secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures of ceruloplasmin.arrow_forward
