During a covalent catalysis a Schiff-base intermediate forms between A. Two parts of the enzyme (e.g. carbonyl of peptide backbone with -NH2 of the N-terminus) B. Two parts of the substrate as long as a carbonyl and an amino group are present. C. A substrate and different parts of the enzyme. D. An amino acid side chain at the active site of the enzyme and the substrate

Enzymes function as catalysts for chemical reactions. What chemical reaction does the ribosome catalyze? A/ Makes a covalent bond (called the phosphodiester bond) that connects two nucleotides, breaks a covalent bond within water. B/ Makes a covalent bond (called the peptide bond) that connects two nucleotides, breaks a covalent bond within water. C/ Makes a non-covalent bond (called the phosphodiester bond) that connects two amino acids, breaks a covalent bond within water. D/ Makes a covalent bond (called the peptide bond) that connects two amino acids, breaks a covalent bond within water. E/ Makes a non-covalent bond (called the phosphodiester bond) that connects two amino acids, breaks a non-covalent bond within water).

C) Since enzymes are catalysts, name five properties of enzymes D) What is a enzyme-substrate complex? What is an enzyme active site? E) Why is formation of an enzyme-substrate complex important for speeding up a reaction? F) While there are many strategies enzymes can use to lower the activation energy of a reaction, what are three that we discussed?
