Coenzymes are molecules that assist proteins in nearly half of all the reactions they catalyze. These small, organic molecules contain nucleotides just like in the building blocks of our DNA and RNA.

Nucleobase-containing coenzymes are believed to be the relics of an ancient RNA world and can provide information on the origin and evolution of proteins. However, coenzyme-protein interactions ...

Researchers at the University of Greifswald have discovered a new mechanism by which bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis can regulate the production of the central metabolic molecule acetyl coenzyme A ...
