Step 1

This implies that enzymes are more complementary to the transition state of a substrate than to the substrate itself or the product, facilitating the reaction by stabilizing the transition state. Show more…

The figure below illustrates the hypothesis that enzymatic catalysis is facilitated by weak binding interactions that are maximized in the transition state complex. Design an experiment to prove this hypothesis wrong. Describe what you would do (experimental design and rationale), and what you would expect to see (results), if the hypothesis is valid or invalid. Cite evidence, which does or does not support this hypothesis. Enzyme complementary to transition state? G GM uncat * G S ES P Reaction coordinate
