cofactor
cofactor A non-
protein component that is required by an
enzyme in order for it to function, and to which it may be either tightly or loosely bound. Cofactors that are tightly bound are known as prosthetic groups. Cofactors are required by many enzymes: they may be metal ions (activators) or organic molecules (coenzymes), and generally act as donors to or acceptors from the
substrate (or substrates) of functional groups of atoms. Examples include
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD),
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP), and
adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
