Definition
| An apoenzyme + its cofactor |
|
|
Term
|
Definition

|
|
Term
| NAD+ and CoA are examples of this |
|
Definition
| These are two common examples of coenzymes or cofactors |
|
|
Term

|
|
Term
| Main difference between synthetases and synthases |
|
Definition
| Synthases do not utilize NTPs for their rxn while synthetases do |
