Answer» Solution :Step 1 : There are a number of active centres on the surface of the enzyme. The MOLECULES of the reactant (substrate) which have complementory shape to the enzyme fit into active centres LIKE a key fits into a LOCK and FOMS an activated complex. `E + S rarr RS^(**)` Step II : Decomposition of activated complex gives the products. `ES^(**) rarr E + P` |
