A
coenzyme
(a.k.a. a
prosthetic group
) is an
organic
non-
protein
molecule
that is a functional part of an
enzyme
. Coenzymes are generally defined as
cofactor
s that are
organic molecules
. Many coenzymes are
phosphorylated
water
-soluble
vitamin
s. However, nonvitamins may also be coenzymes, such as
heme
coenzymes in catalytic
hemoproteins
. Coenzymes covalently or non-covalently bind to the inactive
apoenzyme
to form the active
holoenzyme
.
