Which of these is the second step of an enzymatic reaction?(a) Binding of the substrate to the enzyme(b) Change in the conformation of the enzyme(c) Production of an enzyme-substrate complex(d) Release of product from the enzymeI got this question in an online quiz.Question is taken from Biomolecules in portion Biomolecules of Biology – Class 11

Answer»

Right option is (a) Binding of the SUBSTRATE to the enzyme

For explanation I would say: In an enzymatic reaction, a substrate FIRST binds to the active site of an enzyme. This INDUCES a conformational change in the enzyme to form an enzyme-substrate COMPLEX. This is converted into a product which is then released.
