question 19

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements regarding enzymes and transition states is correct?

• A)Stabilization of the transition state must be less than stabilization of ES for catalysis to occur.
• B)Binding of substrate to an enzyme often causes strain,thus promoting transition-state formation.
• C)The transition-state conformation of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is identical to the conformation seen in the uncatalyzed transition state.
• D)Formation of the transition state always assures that the reaction will proceed to product.
