Summary Introduction
To review:
The similarities and dissimilarities between co-enzymes and enzymes, with respect to their chemical structure and their functions.
Introduction:
Cellular processes in nature without enzymes would hold to a rate that would make life impossible. In nature, there are ways devised to hasten, slow down or completely stop the biochemical reactions of the cell according to the
