Question

During the course of a catalytic reaction the following occurs: 1) Substrate is covalently bound and oriented with proximity to the active site residues. 2) Negative charge builds up on the substrate and is stabilized. 3) Oxidation of the enzyme followed by reduction to complete the catalytic cycle. What type of chemical species can facilitate these reactions? A) nucleophilic amino acids B) electrophilic groups C) prosthetic phosphate groups D) transition metal anions E) transition metal cations

Answer 1

During the course of a catalytic reaction Substrate is covalently bound and oriented with proximity to the active site residues.

The type of chemical species which can facilitate these reactions is transition metal cations.

What is an Enzyme?

These are proteins that act as biological catalysts and accelerate chemical reactions.

They function by binding to the substrate and requires the use of transition metal cations which acts as cofactors.
