Notes
A cofactor is a compound needed for a protein to function properly meaning they are helper molecules that assist in chemical reactions!
There are two types:Â
Coenzymes: organic moleculesÂ
Metal ions: Metal → luckily, this one is pretty easy to remember…
When these get bound together super tight to the enzyme, they are called prosthetic groups
→ I think of prosthetics and how tight they need to be bound in order to function correctly!
