The article seems to say the same thing twice--about vitamins being organic and coenzymes.
- It also says that cofactors can either be metal ions or organic things like vitamins twice.
Pasted from the disambig over at cofactor, some material could be integrated here:
Cofactor:a small, non-protein molecule or ion that is bound in the functional site of a protein and assists in ligand binding or catalysis or both. Some cofactors are bound covalently, others are not. For example, prosthetic groups and compounds such as NAD, NADP, flavin nucleotides, coenzyme A.
[edit] Template help
If anyone has time, the {{Enzyme cofactors}} template would really benefit from your expertise. Thanks! :) Willow 19:11, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
