Coenzyme, cofactor and prosthetic group : ambiguous biochemical jargon

For enzymes which require non-protein components to be functionally active, it is generally accepted that the term holoenzyme refers to the complete catalytic entity which consists of a protein part known as the apoenzyme and a non-protein constituent. The terms used for the functionally required no...
