Comment
1. Making inferences in GO about compounds based on the coenzyme role curated by ChEBI creates relationships that are not always true which violates ontological principles for GO; therefore we will cease making these inferences. 2. It is not meaningful to group catabolic processes that are not all metabolically related by the fact that they may be used as a coenzyme.
