There are a number of similar threads but not exactly what I'm looking for.
My biochem book breaks them down like this:
Cofactors - divided into (1)metal ions and (2) coenzymes
Then, coenzymes are further broken down into (1)cosubtrates and (2) prosthetic groups
Another source breaks them down like this:
Cofactors - (1) organic and (2) inorganic
Then, inorganic is broken down into (1) Coenzymes and (2) prosthetic groups
Which is it? I am confused.
Are prosthetic groups a type of...
cofactors, coenzymes, cosubstrates
