Answer:
co-factors
Step-by-step explanation:
Co-factors
are the
inorganic substances
that are
non-proteinaceous
and assist the enzymes to efficiently carry out the various chemical reactions that take place in the body.
These co-factors are usually derived from
water-soluble vitamins
through the process of phosphorylation.
The enzyme in the absence of their cofactors is known as
apo-enzyme
however after it has bound to its
cofactor
it becomes fully functional and then is known as the
holoenzyme
.
