Draw a diagram of enzyme function with and without enzymes for the reaction: A + B -> transition state -> C + D + energy On the diagram, show: 1. Show the free energy of the reactants using horizontal lines. 2. Show the energy of activation (EA) both with and without an enzyme. Use letters A and B. Are the values the same? 3. Indicate the change in free energy (ΔG) of the reaction. Use letter C. Is it exergonic or endergonic?

Make a graphical representation of activation energy and change of free energy in a reaction and compare it with a graph showing the work of enzyme in lowering the activation energy of a reaction

Draw a transition state diagram of (a) a nonenzymatic reaction and the corresponding enzyme-catalyzed reaction in which (b) $\mathrm{S}$ binds loosely to the enzyme and (c) S binds very tightly to the enzyme. Compare $\Delta G$ for each case. Why is tight binding of $\mathrm{S}$ not advantageous?
Draw a reaction coordinate diagram for an exothermic reaction that occurs in a single step. Identify the activation energy and the net energy change for the reaction on this diagram. Draw a second diagram that represents the same reaction in the presence of a catalyst, assuming a single-step reaction is involved here also. Identify the activation energy of this reaction and the energy change. Is the activation energy in the two drawings different? Does the energy evolved in the two reactions differ?
