Molecule: 6-chloro-4-ethylhex-2-enoic acid For the mechanism you will focus on the reaction of the portion of the molecule drawn only (not the R part). For any corrections, disregard the parts of your molecule represented by R-groups. Below the incorrect mechanism write a discussion (step-by-step) of the incorrect mechanism identifying all of the mistakes in the mechanism. Keep in mind that there will be more than one mistake in the given mechanism and that the product given is not necessarily the correct product of the reaction of your molecule with the given reagent. For each mistake, give a detailed, scientific explanation of why it is incorrect. Draw your own correct mechanism on a new page
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.
