  • Vitamins

  • NAD+ and NADH

    Participates in redox reactionsImportant in electron transport

  • Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)

    Also involved in redox reactionsAnd electron transport

  • Thiamine (Vitamin B1)

    Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) is active formCofactor in decarboxylations when COO- is next to carbonyl

    * Important reaction

  • Biotin

    Long tether allows biotin to Pick up carboxylate groups in one placeUse them in another
