 Enzyme Co-factors: Apoenzyme, Holoenzyme & Types Explained  Co-factors help enzymes become active by combining with apoenzymes to form functional holoenzymes. -Dr.Sanjaykumar Pawar  Co-factors (NCERT Class 11 Biology) Line-by-Line Explanation Notes (NEET Preparation) 6. Co-factors Introduction to Co-factors Line: Enzymes are composed of one or several polypeptide chains. Explanation: Enzymes are mainly made up of proteins . Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids called polypeptide chains . Some enzymes contain only one polypeptide chain, while others contain multiple chains. Line: However, there are a number of cases in which non-protein constituents called co-factors are bound to the enzyme to make the enzyme catalytically active. Explanation: Some enzymes cannot work alone. They require an additional non-protein component called a co-factor . Co-factors attach to enzymes and help them perform their catalytic activity. Without the co-...
