Which of the following is NOT a mechanism by which
enzymes assist in formation of a transition state
intermediate?

A. Positioning substrates precisely in spatial relation with one


another and with specific amino acid side chains.
B. Preventing interference by water molecules.
C. Binding the substrate with high affinity and the product with low
affinity.
D. Playing a direct role in the reaction mechanism.

Chapter 14
Transition state analogs often make more
effective competitive inhibitors than
substrate analogs. Why?

A. Because no activation energy is required for the


enzyme to convert the transition state analog to
product.
B. Because enzyme active sites are designed to bind
the transition state better than the substrate.
C. Because all enzyme-catalyzed reactions are
reversible and the same transition state analog
occurs in both forward and reverse reactions.
