coenzyme
A low-molecular-weight, non-protein organic compound participating in enzymatic reactions as dissociable acceptor or donor of chemical groups or electrons.
(via 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin )
prosthetic group
A tightly bound, specific nonpolypeptide unit in a protein determining and involved in its biological activity.
(via 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin )
Application(s): diagnostic agent
A substance administered to aid diagnosis of a disease.
nutraceutical
A product in capsule, tablet or liquid form that provide essential nutrients, such as a vitamin, an essential mineral, a protein, an herb, or similar nutritional substance.
