Nonprotein components of certain enzymes are called cofactors. If the
cofactor is organic, then it is called a coenzyme. Coenzymes are
relatively small molecules compared to the protein part of the enzyme
and many
Enzymes are catalysts
that drive reaction rates forward. Most, but not all, are made up of
amino acid chains called proteins that accelerate the rate of reactions
in chemical systems. Their functionality depends on how
