One example of a cation that acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in normal membrane function is calcium (Ca2+). Calcium ions play a crucial role in maintaining membrane integrity and stability. They are involved in processes such as cell adhesion, signal transduction, and regulation of ion channels that are essential for cell membrane function.
Often enzymes require a cofactor in order for them to function as a catalyst
Yes, Mg2+ is a cofactor for the enzymes phosphofructo kinase-1, phosphoglycerate kinase, enolase, and pyruvate kinase in glycolysis.

Molecules required for the catalytic function of enzymes
Some enzymes do indeed have non-protein components. One really good example of this is the ribosome. Ribosomes are the enzymes responsible for translating mRNA into protein. Ribosomes are made up of both protein components and rRNA components. rRNA stands for ribosomal RNA.

In a strawberry to extract the DNA it is required to break down the cell membrane (both the membrane protecting the cell as well as the membrane protecting the nucleus) and pectinase and cellulase in strawberries are enzymes that are break down these membrane...at least in a strawberry.
Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that function as the "stomachs" by defective lysosomal enzymes demonstrates the importance of lysosomes.
enzymes
A lysosome is a cell organelle filled with enzymes needed to break down certain materials in a cell. Lysosomes are single membrane bounded organelles that contain strong digestive enzymes and work for the breakdown of food and waste materials within the cells. During their function they fuse with a vacuole that contains the targeted material.
its a type of cofactor more precisely called a Coenzyme
