Q. 16.35 - An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

Question

Match the terms (1) enzyme-substrate complex, (2) enzyme, and (3) substrate with each of the following:

a. has a tertiary structure that recognizes the substrate

b. the combination of an enzyme with the substrate

c. has a structure that fits the active site of an enzyme

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

(Part a) - (1) - (b) or enzyme - substrate complex is the combination of an enzyme with the substrate.

(Part b) (2) - (a) Enzyme have tertiary structure that recognizes the substrate.

(Part c) $\left(3\right)-\left(c\right)$ Substrate has a structure that fits the active site of an enzyme.

Step 1: Introduction (Part a)

The enzyme substrate complex is a temporary molecule formed when an enzyme comes into perfect contact with its substrate

Step 2: Given information(Part a)

Match the terms (1) enzyme-substrate complex, (2) enzyme, and (3) substrate with each of the following: 

Step 3: Explanation(Part a, Part b, Part c)

(a) - (1) - (b) or enzyme - substrate complex is the combination of an enzyme with the substrate.

(b) (2) - (a) Enzyme have tertiary structure that recognizes the substrate.

(c)$\left(3\right)-\left(c\right)$ Substrate has a structure that fits the active site of an enzyme.
