What distinguishes a coenzyme from a cofactor
  • Definitions in Enzymology:
  • Cofactor: A broad umbrella term for any non-protein chemical component required for an enzyme's catalytic activity:
  • Can be inorganic metal ions ($Mg^{2+}, Zn^{2+}, Fe^{2+}, Cu^{2+}, Mn^{2+}$).
  • Can be organic molecules.
  • Coenzyme: A specific subclass of cofactors consisting of complex organic non-protein molecules (often derived from water-soluble B vitamins, such as $NAD^+, FAD, TPP, CoA, PLP$) that transiently bind to the apoenzyme to transfer chemical groups or electrons.
  • nalysis:
  • (Coenzymes are organic molecules, while cofactors are usually metal ions or inorganic): Correct.

Correct option: (3) Coenzymes are organic molecules, while cofactors are usually metal ions or inorganic
