Best Answer

A co-substrate is a co-factor that transforms an apoenzyme into a holoenzyme. However, it is not tightly bound to the protein and freely binds and releases (but is not chemically altered). This is different from a tightly bound cofactor such as heme in hemeglobin, these are termed prosthetic groups.
