Which of the following characteristics of the transition state is false?
The number of noncovalent bonds increases between the enzyme and substrate at its transition state
The transition state energy is part of the delta G ^0 for the reaction
The energy required to reach the transition state is characterized by delta G (double arrow)
The transition state is unstable due to the straining of the covalent bonds in the substrate
Both answers B and C are false
Each enzyme has a specific
which is the reactant that the enzyme will act upon.
Induced Fit Model of Enzyme Action: The substrate induces a more complete fit of the active site around it.
Active site can lower an EA barrier by:
ງ
Below which is false about enzyme and catalysis?
O Catalytic residues interact with substrates and help substrates reach "transition state".
Catalytic residues may be far away from each other in the protein sequence.
Enzymes go through changes when binding to substrates, but the changes are always temporary.
During catalysis, enzymes never form covalent bonds with substrates.
O During catalysis, enzymes may serve as an acid or a base.

Enzyme inhibitors interact reversibly or irreversibly with an enzyme to alter its Km and /or Vmax values. Enzymes typically act under milder conditions of temperature and pH than non-enzyme chemical catalysts. Zymogens are the inactive precursors of enzyme.
