Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Coenzymes are helper molecules that often bind to enzymes in the active site and aid in catalysis or the transformation of substrates. Examples include NAD+ and FAD which are essential for many dehydrogenase enzymes to carry out the oxidation of organic compounds. Co-substrates are molecules that bind to the enzyme and are transformed during the reaction. Products are the end result of a chemical reaction, and substrates are the starting materials that are transformed by enzymes.
