1. In some cases, the cofactor completes the active site of the enzyme or modifies it in such a manner that substrate binding can ensue. 2. The cofactor acts as a donor of electrons or atoms to the substrate and following the reaction is returned to its former state.
Loosely bound coenzymes differ from substrates in that the same coenzymes may be used by different enzymes in order to bring about proper enzyme activity. Enzymes without their necessary cofactors are called apoenzymes, which are the inactive form of an enzyme. Cofactors with an apoenzyme are called a holoenzyme, which is the active form.
