Interpretation: An enzyme-substrate complex and its formation have to be explained.
Concept introduction: Enzymes are present in every living thing. Enzymes are proteins that catalyze the biochemical reactions that occur in living organisms.
Answer to Problem 56A
The non-covalent complex is known as the enzyme-substrate complex. It is formed when an enzyme attaches to a substrate to catalyze the biochemical process.
Explanation of Solution
An enzyme and its substrate form a non-covalent complex that is called the enzyme-substrate complex. This complex consists of a substrate that is attached to the active site of an enzyme.
When an enzyme binding to a substrate to catalyze the biochemical process, an enzyme-substrate complex is formed. An enzyme's active site is contacted and bound by a substrate. This reaction converts the substrate into products by forming an enzyme product complex. After then, the enzyme's active site releases the products.
The non-covalent complex is known as the enzyme-substrate complex. It is formed when an enzyme attaches to a substrate to catalyze the biochemical process.
