Chapter 12, Problem 31Q
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Some type of functional groups on a substrate can be important for specific binding to enzymes. The reason has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Enzyme:

  • It is a protein or a molecule which can act as a catalyst for a biological reaction.
  • Does not affect the equilibrium point of the reaction.
  • Active site of the enzyme is the region where the reaction takes place.
  • Enzyme’s activity can be specific which means the activity is limited to a certain substrate and a certain type of reaction and it is referred to as specificity of the enzyme.
