Vedclass · Answer

(D) Many enzymes require a non-protein component for their activity,which is collectively known as a $Cofactor$.$Cofactors$ are categorized into three types:$1$. $Prosthetic$ $groups$: These are organic compounds tightly bound to the apoenzyme.$2$. $Coenzymes$: These are organic compounds that are transiently associated with the apoenzyme.$3$. $Metal$ $ions$: These are inorganic ions that form coordination bonds with side chains at the active site.Since all three categories ($Prosthetic$ $group$,$Coenzyme$,and $Metal$ $ion$) are types of $Cofactors$,the correct answer is $All$ $of$ $the$ $above$.
