Prosthetic groups differ from co-enzymes in that –(A) They can serve as co-factors in a number of enzyme – catalyzed reactions(B) They require metal ions for their activity(C) They (prosthetic groups) are tightly bound to apoenzymes(D) Their association with apoenzymes is transient |

Answer» (C) They (prosthetic groups) are tightly bound to apoenzymes Apoenzyme (protein part) and co-factor together form a complete catalytically active enzyme which is known as holoenzyme. The co-factors are of two types; metal ions and coenzymes. A coenzyme or metal ion that is very tightly or even covalently bound to the enzyme protein is known as a prosthetic group. |
