A cofactor is a non-protein chemical compound that is bound to a protein. The protein they are bound to are often enzymes. Cofactors are considered "helper molecules" that assist in biochemical transformations. An enzyme are large biochemical molecules that is responsible for many chemical interconversions that sustain life. A cofactor is more stable because it tightly binds to the enzymes to make them stronger.
