Cofactor

Cofactor Comment Organism Structure
thiamine diphosphate donor substrates (e.g. hydroxypyruvate or dihydroxyacetone) increase the affiniffty of the coenzyme for transketolase, whereas acceptor substrates do not. The effect of the substrate on the interaction of the coenzyme with apotransketolase and on stability of the reconstituted holoenzyme is caused by generation of 2-(alpha,beta-dihydroxyethyl)thiamine diphosphate (an intermediate product of the transketolase reaction), which has higher affinity for apotransketolase than thiamine diphosphate Saccharomyces cerevisiae
