nick Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 A cofactor is anything that isn't a protein that's required for an enzyme to work. A coenzyme is just a organic cofactor, like a vitamin, as opposed to inorganic cofactors, like metal ions. You might also have heard about prosthetic groups, which are just cofactors that bind tightly to their enzyme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
