what is the function of coenzyme a in the krebs cycle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Acetyl coenzyme A or acetyl-CoA is an important molecule in metabolism, used in many biochemical reactions. Its main function is to convey the carbon atoms within the acetyl group to the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) to be oxidized for energy production.tructure of coenzyme A (CoASH or CoA) consists of a Î²-mercaptoethylamine group linked to the vitamin pantothenic acid through an amide linkage. The acetyl group of acetyl-CoA is linked by a high energy thioester to the sulfhydryl portion of the Î²-mercaptoethylamine.
