Deducing information about reaction mechanisms from a... Study the following reaction energy diagram: products olo energy reactants Then answer the following questions about the chemical reaction. O release Does this reaction release or absorb O absorb energy? O neither How many transition states occur during this reaction? O yes Could this be an elementary reaction? O no If you said this reaction could not be elementary, then how many steps are in its mechanism? If you said this reaction could not be elementary, then enter the number of the step in its mechanism which is rate- determining. For example, if the first step is the rate- determining step, enter "1" here. 回 国国 II
Catalysis and Enzymatic Reactions
Catalysis is the kind of chemical reaction in which the rate (speed) of a reaction is enhanced by the catalyst which is not consumed during the process of reaction and afterward it is removed when the catalyst is not used to make up the impurity in the product. The enzymatic reaction is the reaction that is catalyzed via enzymes.
Lock And Key Model
The lock-and-key model is used to describe the catalytic enzyme activity, based on the interaction between enzyme and substrate. This model considers the lock as an enzyme and the key as a substrate to explain this model. The concept of how a unique distinct key only can have the access to open a particular lock resembles how the specific substrate can only fit into the particular active site of the enzyme. This is significant in understanding the intermolecular interaction between proteins and plays a vital role in drug interaction.
