Coenzyme Notes:
Coenzymes are tiny molecules that do not catalyze a reaction on they own but they assist enzymes in a reaction to speed it up. Technically, coenzymes are nonprotein organic molecules that bind with the molecule made of protein (apoenzyme) to create the holoenzyme, which is an active enzyme.
