Prosthetic group:a cofactor or coenzyme that binds extremely tightly to theenzyme. Holoenzyme: an enzyme with its cofactors and/or coenzymes. Are cytochromes proteins? Cytochrome c Cytochromes areproteinsthat contain heme as their prosthetic group and whose principal biological function, in the cells ...
Methylamine dehydrogenase (MADH), an alpha-2-beta-2 enzyme from numerous methylotrophic soil bacteria, contains a novel quinonoid redox prosthetic group that is covalently bound to its small beta-subunit through two amino acyl residues. A comparison of the amino acid sequence deduced from the gen...
