Cofactors are divi...This page provides an in-depth look at the function of cofactors in enzyme-catalyzed reactions, emphasizing their role in facilitating electron flow during chemical transformations. Cofactors are divided into two categories: metals and coenzymes, with metal cofactors often aiding in catalytic activity through electron transport and stabilization of transition states.

Enzyme specificity is highlighted through the "induced fit" mechanism, with activity influenced by pH, temperature, and the need for cofactors. Competitive inhibition occurs when similar substrates vie for binding.
