The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Apo-Enzyme and Co-Enzyme.
Difference # Apo-Enzyme:
1. It is protein part of the holoenzyme or conjugate enzyme.
2. It is large in size.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
3. An apoenzyme is specific for an enzyme.
4. It takes part in only catalytic activity of the enzyme.
5. Apoenzyme does not help in group transfer.
6. Apoenzyme is thermolabile.
Difference # Co-Enzyme:
ADVERTISEMENTS:
1. Coenzyme is the non-protein organic group which gets attached to the apoenzyme to form holoenzyme or conjugate enzyme.
2. It is small in size.
3. A coenzyme can function as a cofactor for a number of enzymes carrying out that particular type of reaction.
4. It helps in removing a product of chemical reaction besides bringing contact between the substrate and the enzyme.
5. Coenzyme takes part in group transfer.
6. Coenzyme is heat stable.
