id: GO:0048037
name: obsolete cofactor binding
namespace: molecular_function
def: "OBSOLETE. Binding to a cofactor, a substance that is required for the activity of an enzyme or other protein. Cofactors may be inorganic, such as the metal atoms zinc, iron, and copper in certain forms, or organic, in which case they are referred to as coenzymes. Cofactors may either be bound tightly to active sites or bind loosely with the substrate." [ISBN:0198506732]
comment: 1. Making inferences in GO about compounds based on the cofactor role curated by ChEBI creates relationships that are not always true which violates ontological principles for GO; therefore we will cease making these inferences. 2. It is not meaningful to group binding interactions that are not all chemically related by the fact that they may be used as a cofactor.
