cofactor
cofactor A non-protein component that is required by an
enzyme for its 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 are
NAD,
NADP, and
ATP. These are used in the laboratory, after
electrophoresis, in histochemical staining for the specific enzymes.
