Prosthetic Explain Chloride Ion Correct Formation Active Site

Chloride ions are cofactors but not coenzymes (inorganic) or prosthetic groups (not permanently attached to amylase).

Chloride ions are cofactors, not coenzymes (because they are inorganic), nor prosthetic groups (because they are not permanently attached to amylase).

Front Explain why the chloride ion necessary for the correct formation of the active site in amylase is a cofactor, not a coenzyme or prosthetic group.
Back Not a coenzyme:
  • It is inorganic, coenzymes are organic

Not a prosthetic group:
  • It is not permanently attached, prosthetic groups are
