Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a reaction that has a high activation energy barrier without an enzyme, explain how introducing an enzyme could affect the rate of reaction and why. Include in your answer the concept of transition states.

💡 Hint: Think about the energy landscape and how enzymes reshape it.

Question 2

If an enzyme exhibits both covalent and acid-base catalysis, explain how both mechanisms could work together in a single reaction pathway.

💡 Hint: Consider how different catalytic strategies may be leveraged simultaneously.
