biochemical substances found in cells and the body that are catalysts (or helper substances) that enhance chemical reactions in the body. Many biological functions cannot occur without the help of enzymes. Some enzymes depend for activity only on their structure as proteins, while others also require one or more nonprotein components, called cofactors. The cofactor may be a metal ion or an organic molecule called a coenzyme; some enzymes require both.
