Select all TRUE statements Weak interactions are minimized i
Solution
Weak interactions are minimized in the reaction transition state.
Explanation- There is optimization of weak interactions in the reaction transition state (at this stage, formation of substrate or product is equally likely).
Most of the binding energy comes from the formation of weak bonds and interactions between an enzyme and its substrate
Explanation- Lowering of activation energy is made possible through weak interactions between enzyme and substrate.
Most enzyme substrate interaction occur at the enzyme active site
Explanation- The substrates bind to the active of the enzyme. It is the site where a reactions are catalyzed.
Binding energy is a major source of free energy used by enzymes to lower the activation energy of reactions
Explanation- Binding energy is the energy derived from enzyme substrate interaction. It lowers activation energy.
