1. In some cases, the cofactor completes the active site of the enzyme or modifies it in such a manner that substrate binding can ensue. 2. The cofactor acts as a donor of electrons or atoms to the substrate and following the reaction is returned to its former state.
The substrate binds to the enzyme at the active site. Two models have been proposed to explain this binding: the Lock and Key Model and the Induced Fit Model. Once the reaction is complete, the enzyme releases the product and is ready to bind with another substrate.
