Which of these is the third 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 had been asked this question in an online interview.This intriguing question originated from Biomolecules topic in section Biomolecules of Biology – Class 11

Answer»

Correct answer is (c) Production of an enzyme-substrate complex

To explain: 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.
