Questions and Answers

What is the source of energy for the dramatic lowering of the activation energies for specific reactions?

  • Covalent interactions between enzymes and substrates (correct)
  • Noncovalent interactions between enzyme and substrate
  • The formation of a specific ES complex
  • The release of free energy during a reaction

    • What is the significance of binding energy in enzyme-substrate interaction?

  • It is the energy released during the reaction
  • It stabilizes the enzyme-substrate interaction
  • It contributes to specificity as well as to catalysis (correct)
  • It is the energy source for the reaction

    • What are the forces that mediate the interaction between substrate and enzyme in the ES complex?

  • Covalent bonds
  • Van der Waals forces
  • Ionic bonds
