Common Namecoenzyme B
DescriptionCoenzyme B is a thiol compound classified as a coenzyme involved in various biochemical pathways, particularly in methanogenic archaea and certain bacteria. Its chemical structure includes a reactive thiol group that participates in redox reactions, facilitating the transfer of electrons in metabolic processes. Coenzyme B plays a critical role in the reduction of heterodisulfides, specifically in the conversion of coenzyme M and coenzyme B to their reduced forms (CoM-SH and CoB-SH), which is essential during syntrophic interactions in the degradation of organic matter (PMID:40362433 ). Additionally, it is involved in the methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) pathway, where it participates in the endergonic conversion of methane and is generated from the heterodisulfide adduct of coenzymes M and B (PMID:39911329 ). The biosynthesis of coenzyme B reflects evolutionary adaptations, as indicated by its balanced selection in various organisms (PMID:40051064 ). Furthermore, coenzyme B is implicated in C1 metabolism and the regulation of methyltransferases, highlighting its significance in cellular metabolic networks (PMID:39472004 ). Overall, coenzyme B's structural properties and involvement in key metabolic pathways underscore its importance in microbial energy conversion processes.
