Vedclass · Answer

(C) Co-factors are non-protein constituents that are bound to the enzyme to make the enzyme catalytically active. Based on their chemical nature,they are classified into three types: $1$. Prosthetic groups (organic compounds that are tightly bound to the apoenzyme). $2$. Co-enzymes (organic compounds that are transiently associated with the apoenzyme). $3$. Metal ions (inorganic ions that form coordination bonds with side chains at the active site). Therefore,co-factors can be both organic and inorganic in nature.
