Vedclass · Answer

(B) Cofactors are non-protein components that are essential for the catalytic activity of enzymes. They are classified into three types: prosthetic groups,co-enzymes,and metal ions. Prosthetic groups are organic compounds that are distinguished from other cofactors in that they are tightly bound to the apoenzyme (the protein portion of the enzyme). For example,in peroxidase and catalase,which catalyze the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen,heme is the prosthetic group and it is a part of the active site of the enzyme.
