Unlike metal ions, coenzymes frequently dissociate from the enzyme after the reaction cycle (biochemistry), meaning they are transiently bound. They participate directly in the chemical mechanism, often undergoing transient modification themselves (e.g., oxidation or reduction) before being regenerated.
When a coenzyme is tightly and permanentl…
