Vitamins serve as co-enzymes in many biochemical reactions. Suppose you are a dietician who consults a patient, which desires to lose some weight. Considering that bacteria and human lipid biochemistry and the central metabolism are similar, what vitamins (co-enzymes) would you recommend to your patient to take and which to avoid?

Ans:I will recommend the pateint to take vitamin B and vitamin D to lose weight.

Vitamin B such as :riboflavin (B-2),niacin (B-3),pantothenic acid (B-5),pyridoxine (B-6),biotin (B-7), cobalamin (B-12) thay all play avery vital role in fully functional metabolism.They help to metabolise carbohydrates, proteins and fats to use the stored energy in the food. Low levels of one or more of these vitamins means your metabolism won’t be functioning at its best. This makes losing weight even harder.

Vitamin D-Adequate levels of vitamin D may also help prevent depression, according to some research. A positive attitude is also fundamental for an effective diet. It has been reported that vitamin D deficiency is associated with a higher risk of obesity and obesity-related complications.

I will ask the pateint to avoid Vitamin C as it assosiated to help gain weight, Vitamin B1 also known as thiamine is linked with those appetite who reports weight loss.

Many proteins are enzymes (they catalyze reactions). Thus, it is necessary to review how reactions take place. Reduced organic compounds tend to contain stored energy in C–H bonds. As a general rule, the greater the number of C–H bonds, the greater the amount of potential energy stored in the molecule. Answer each question in the chart as it relates to the two reactions shown at the top. Be sure to be prepared to explain the reasoning behind your answers. Reaction...

In blood coagulation, there are many enzymes involved in a cascade of activation reactions to ultimately form fibrin. There is an inherited disorder in Factor X for a small subgroup of the population (bleeding disorder). It is hypothesized that 50% of this different Factor X is defective in the activation site that allows conversion to Factor Xa. You are charged with developing a pharmaceutical (drug) or biopharmaceutical (biologic) to improve this bleeding disorder. Describe what protein or system you will...

Given what we have discussed about biochemical reactions of photosynthesis in terrestrial plants, what do you suppose are the potential mechanisms plants could use to compensate for a reduction in the biochemical processes of photosynthesis during stress? You should discuss possible stressors and present your answer in two parts. A) Short term responses (acclimation), B) Long term responses (evolution/adaptatation) list examples of stresses that can lead to a reduction and specifically identify how these stressors will decrease biochemical efficiency (i.e.,...
