Coenzymes are small organic non-protein molecules that carry chemical groups between enzymes.[1] Coenzymes are sometimes referred to as cosubstrates.
coenzymes Chemicals required by a number of enzymes for proper functioning; also known as enzyme cofactors.
cohesion The force that holds molecules of the same substance together.
coenzymes - Small molecule tightly associated with an enzyme that participates in the reaction that the enzyme catalyzes, often by forming a transient covalent bond to the
substrate.
Coenzymes may be covalently bound to the protein part (called the apoenzyme) of enzymes as a prosthetic group. Others bind more loosely and, in fact, may bind only transiently to the enzyme as it performs its catalytic act.
Coenzymes
Many enzymes require a cofactor to assist in the reaction. These "assistants" are nonprotein and may be metal ions such as magnesium (Mg++), potassium (K+), and calcium (Ca++).
Vitamins (Act as Cofactors or Coenzymes)
Vitamins are medium sized biomolecules which contain carbon and are, therefore, organic molecules.

An organic molecule required in the diet in very small amounts; vitamins serve primarily as coenzymes or parts of coenzymes.

Electron Transport System The final stage of respiration; a series of enzymes and coenzymes on the inner membrane of mitochondria functioning in the transfer of electrons and the resulting synthesis of ATP.
The fluorescence from endogenous cell constituents such as NADH, riboflavin and flavin coenzymes, which can contribute to background levels during cell imaging.

Vitamin
An organic compound that is required in relatively small amounts for growth of an organism. Vitamins often function as coenzymes.
Coenzyme A small organic molecule required for the activity of many enzymes; vitamins are often components of coenzymes.
Vitamins are organic molecules required for metabolic reactions. They usually cannot be made by the body and are needed in trace amounts. Vitamins may act as enzyme cofactors or coenzymes. Some vitamins are soluble in fats, some in water.
