7 Questions
What is the term used to describe the phenomenon where the shape of the active site can be modified by the binding of the substrate?
Induced fit
Which factor is important for catalysis as it helps in lowering the activation energy?
Binding energy
When does maximal binding energy between an enzyme and substrate occur?
When substrate is in transition state
What happens to the transition state in an enzymatic reaction?
It is not stable
Which type of interactions contribute to the formation of a large number of weak interactions between substrate and enzyme?
Hydrogen bonds
In conformation selection, substrate only binds to enzymes with an active site having a certain what?
Conformation
What is released when there is a formation of a large number of weak interactions between substrate and enzyme?
$\Delta G$
Test your knowledge about enzymes and their specificity in catalyzing reactions. Learn about how enzymes bind specific substrates and produce specific products, as well as the role of proteolytic enzymes like papain and trypsin.
