Which one of the following statements is correct, with reference to enzymes?
Options
- AApoenzyme = Holoenzyme + Coenzyme
- BHoloenzyme = Apoenzyme + Coenzyme
- CCoenzyme = Apoenzyme + Holoenzyme
- DHoloenzyme = Coenzyme + Co-factor
Correct answer
B. Holoenzyme = Apoenzyme + Coenzyme
Step-by-step solution
The holoenzyme is a conjugated enzyme in which protein part is apoenzyme while non-protein is a cofactor. Coenzyme is also organic compounds but their association with apoenzyme is only transient and serve as cofactors.
