1. Of the two unimolecular reactions shown, decide which you think would be faster, i.e., which would have a higher relative rate constant (krel)? 2. Based on your answer, draw two lines on one reaction coordinate diagram that show the relative progress of each reaction along its path to product indicated? 3. what is Bond dissociation energy of the C-LG bond? 4. what is the Nature of the leaving group (LG)? 5. what is the relative size of activation energy (Ea) for each reaction? 6. what is the Hammond's postulate? 7. what are the Relative thermodynamic stability of the reactive intermediates? 8. what is Influence of the solvent (if given) on the reactions and intermediates?
Catalysis and Enzymatic Reactions
Catalysis is the kind of chemical reaction in which the rate (speed) of a reaction is enhanced by the catalyst which is not consumed during the process of reaction and afterward it is removed when the catalyst is not used to make up the impurity in the product. The enzymatic reaction is the reaction that is catalyzed via enzymes.
Lock And Key Model
The lock-and-key model is used to describe the catalytic enzyme activity, based on the interaction between enzyme and substrate. This model considers the lock as an enzyme and the key as a substrate to explain this model. The concept of how a unique distinct key only can have the access to open a particular lock resembles how the specific substrate can only fit into the particular active site of the enzyme. This is significant in understanding the intermolecular interaction between proteins and plays a vital role in drug interaction.
