A small organic molecule that works with an enzyme to speed up chemical reactions in cells, often derived from vitamins.
From co- (with) + enzyme (from Greek en- 'in' + zyme 'leaven'), literally meaning 'with-enzyme' or a molecule that helps enzymes work.
Coenzymes are nature's sidekicks—while enzymes are like specialized workers, coenzymes are the tools they borrow, and many are recycled thousands of times per second inside your cells.
