Enzymes are water soluble colloidal macromolecules which are wholly or partially proteinaceous in nature. The proteinaceous part of enzyme is called apoenzyme while the non-protein part is called prosthetic group, which may be organic ( ) or inorganic ( cofactor). This complex enzyme is called holoenzyme.
