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.
Can you show the appropriate reactants and which reactions is appropriate and show the mechanism
Note: According to our guidelines we are supposed to answer only first three subpart. Kindly repost other part in next question.
Given reactions are examples of nucleophilic substitution reactions.
There are two types of nucleophilic substitution reaction.
1) Sn2: bimolecular nucleophilic substitution. In this substrate is primary or secondary alkyl halide. It gives inversion of stereochemistry in product.
2) Sn1: Unimolecular nucleophilic substitution. In substrate is tertiary alkyl halide . Sometimes it can be secondary alkyl halide if the nucleophile is bulky and solvent is polar. It gives retention of stereochemistry.
