1. Coenzyme BCoenzyme B is a coenzyme required for redox reactions in methanogens. The full chemical name of coenzyme B is 7-mercaptoheptanoylthreoninephosphate. The molecule contains a thiol, which is its principal site of reaction. Coenzyme B reacts with 2-methylthioethanesulfonate, to release methane in methanogenesis: CH3–S–CoM + HS–CoB → CH4 + CoB–S–S–CoM This conversion is catalyzed by the enzyme methyl coenzyme M reductase, which contains cofactor F430 as the prosthetic group.
