In enzymatic mechanism, the substrate bind to the enzyme active site to produce?

Correct answer: C. Products

  • A. Reactants
  • B. Enzymes
  • C. Products
  • D. All of these

Explanation

In enzymatic mechanisms, when the substrate binds to the enzyme's active site, it forms an enzyme-substrate complex. This complex is a temporary association between the enzyme and the substrate, and it is a crucial step in the catalytic process. The binding of the substrate to the active site facilitates the conversion of the substrate into a product, leading to the overall catalysis of the reaction. The enzyme-substrate complex allows the enzyme to position and orient the substrate in a way that promotes the specific chemical reactions necessary for the conversion of the substrate into product.

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.
