WHAT DOES PROSTHETIC GROUP MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Cofactor (biochemistry)

A cofactor is a non-protein chemical compound that is required for the protein's biological activity. These proteins are commonly enzymes, and cofactors can be considered "helper molecules" that assist in biochemical transformations. Cofactors can be classified depending on how tightly they bind to an enzyme, with loosely bound cofactors termed coenzymes and tightly bound cofactors termed prosthetic groups. Some sources also limit the use of the term "cofactor" to inorganic substances. An inactive enzyme without the cofactor is called an apoenzyme, while the complete enzyme with cofactor is called a holoenzyme. Some enzymes or enzyme complexes require several cofactors. For example, the multienzyme complex pyruvate dehydrogenase at the junction of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle requires five organic cofactors and one metal ion: loosely bound thiamine pyrophosphate, covalently bound lipoamide and flavin adenine dinucleotide, and the cosubstrates nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and coenzyme A, and a metal ion. Organic cofactors are often vitamins or are made from vitamins.

Definition of prosthetic group in the English dictionary

The definition of prosthetic group in the dictionary is the nonprotein component of a conjugated protein, such as the lipid group in a lipoprotein.
