coenzyme A
coenzyme A
Danh từ
This term refers to a specific biochemical cofactor essential for the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. In a laboratory or clinical setting, it is treated as a precise chemical entity rather than a general category of enzymes. It is almost always referred to as "CoA" in shorthand within scientific literature.
As a specific chemical compound, it is treated as an uncountable noun. It does not have a plural form because it refers to a unique molecular species; one does not refer to "coenzyme As" when discussing the molecule's function in the citric acid cycle.
