Adam B Shapiro

Can you give some specifics about the enzyme and the cofactor?

Md. Harun-Ur- Rashid

The name of the enzyme is cysteine synthase and the cofactor is PLP.

In that case, the cofactor (or coenzyme) is essential to the catalytic mechanism of the enzyme. No reaction can occur without it.

Here is more information about the function of PLP as a coenzyme:

Thank you very much Dear Adam
