Question 1

What does the enzyme-substrate complex signify?

  • A chemical compound
  • A temporary union of enzyme and substrate
  • The end product

💡 Hint: Remember, it's not about the product but rather the binding.

Question 2

True or False: The induced fit model suggests that enzyme shape is static during substrate interaction.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider flexibility versus rigidity.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze the impact of an enzyme with a mutation in its active site that reduces its specificity. What would be the outcome?

💡 Hint: Consider how important fitting is in biochemical roles.

Question 2

Given an enzyme-kinetics scenario, explain how introducing a non-competitive inhibitor would affect the enzyme's efficiency.

💡 Hint: Think about how this influences the dynamic interaction in the ES complex.
