Why are vitamins needed in the synthesis of coenzymes and what role do they often play in coenzyme function?



Vitamins are nutritional requirement since the organism is unable to biosynthesize an adequate amount of its own use. Needed because most coenzymes have a vitamin component as part of their structure and are the site of catalysis of the cofactor (often the site of oxidation and reduction of cofactors).
