Answer 1

Correct answer is (d) Mention of cofactors

Easiest explanation: Cofactor is the non-protein component of the enzyme. The enzyme commission was appointed by the International Union of Biochemistry. The enzyme commission was designed only for enzymes and it stated that each enzyme is given a name and a 4-digit code. It also divided the enzymes into 6 main groups based on the reactions they catalyzed.
