Match these vitamins with their associated enzymes

a) Vitamin B1
b) Vitamin B2
c) Vitamin B3
d) Vitamin B6
e) vitamin B12
f) Folate
g) Pantothenic acid
h) biotin
i) vitamin C

1) succinate dehydrogenase/ alpha glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase
2) thymidylate synthase
3) lysyl hydroxylase/ dopamine hydroxylase
4) pyruvate dehydrogenase/ alpha ketoglutarate transketolase
5) aminotransferases, amino acid decarboxylase
6) pyruvate carboxylase/ priopionyl carboxylase
7) acyl CoA's fatty acid synthase
8) methylmalonyl CoA mutase

a------4
b------1,4
c------1,4
d-------5
e-------8
f--------2
g-------7, 4
h-------6
i-------3

note ---All carboxylases r ABC enzymes. They require ATP, Biotin, CO2
Dehydrogenases--- Tender Loving Care For Noone( TTP, Lipoic acid, CoA frm pantothenate, FAD(riboflavin), NAD (niacin)

thanks mash for additional pointers smiling face

a) Vitamin B1: 4) pyruvate dehydrogenase/ alpha ketoglutarate transketolase

b) Vitamin B2: 1) succinate dehydrogenase/ alpha glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase

c) Vitamin B3: many oxidoreductases (sorry i forgot to put this in)

d) Vitamin B6: 5) aminotransferases (AST,ALT), amino acid decarboxylase (DOPA decarboxylase), beta amino levulinate synthase (heme)

e) vitamin B12: 8) methylmalonyl CoA mutase, homocysteine methyl transferase

f) Folate: 2) thymidylate synthase, homocysteine methyl transferase, also in purine synthesis

g) Pantothenic acid: 7) acyl CoA's fatty acid synthase

h) biotin: 6) pyruvate carboxylase/ priopionyl carboxylase/ acetyl CoA carboxylase

i) vitamin C: 3) lysyl hydroxylase/ prolyl hydroxylase/ dopamine hydroxylase
