Bond specificity of an enzyme is also known as?
Correct answer: A. Relative specificity
- A. Relative specificity
- B. Size specificity
- C. Group specificity
- D. None of these options are correct
Explanation
OPTION A: Bond specificity is the ability of an enzyme to bind with a particular type of substrate that has similar structures and similar bonds. This is also known as relative specificity. Hence A is the correct option.OPTION C: Group specificity occurs when an enzyme will only react with molecules that have specific functional groups, such as aromatic structures, phosphate groups, and methyls.

About Enzymes
Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower activation energy without being consumed, and their specificity is explained by the lock and key and induced fit models. Work includes the effects of temperature, pH and substrate concentration on reaction rate, plus competitive and non-competitive inhibition and how these differ.
