- A substance (as a coenzyme) that must join with another to produce a given result
- A cofactor is a non-protein chemical compound that is bound to a protein and 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. ...
- In linear algebra, the cofactor describes a particular construction that is useful for calculating both the determinant and inverse of square matrices. Specifically the cofactor of the (i, j) entry of a matrix, also known as the (i, j) cofactor of that matrix, is the signed minor of that entry.
- (cofactors) factors that affect HIV transmission probability. These may include genital ulcer disease, herpes simplex virus, bacterial vaginosis, and trichomonas infection.
- An inorganic or organic substance that binds to a specific type of enzyme to activate it. Vitamins and minerals frequently serve as cofactors.
- A type of molecule that helps enzymes carry out chemical reactions.
- A compound needed by an enzyme to carry out the reaction it catalyzes.
- A substance, microorganism or environmental factor that activates or enhances the action of another entity such as a disease-causing agent. Cofactors may influence the progression of a disease or the likelihood of becoming ill. ...
- Non-protein component(s) needed by an enzyme to be functional; some cofactors are metal ions, others are coenzymes (q.v.).
