Catalysis is the kind of chemical reaction in which the rate (speed) of a reaction is enhanced by the catalyst which is not consumed during the process of reaction and afterward it is removed when the catalyst is not used to make up the impurity in the p…

Lock And Key Model

The lock-and-key model is used to describe the catalytic enzyme activity, based on the interaction between enzyme and substrate. This model considers the lock as an enzyme and the key as a substrate to explain this model. The concept of how a unique dist…

Textbook Question

Chapter 5.6, Problem 13P

One of the following molecules (a)â€“(d) is d-erythrose 4-phosphate, an intermediate in the Calvin photosynthetic cycle by which plants incorporate CO₂ into carbohydrates. If d-erythrose 4-phosphate has R stereochemistry at both chirality centers, which of the structures is it? Which of the remaining three structures is the enantiomer of d-erythrose 4-phosphate, and which are diastereomers?
