The hydrolysis of an amide often requires harsh conditions, high temperatures, or a special enzyme. Identify which of the following statements does NOT provide a reason for this lack of reactivity. A) The pka of NH* is ~10 and the pka of H₂O is -16. B) The nitrogen of the amide can donate electrons to make a resonance structure that stabilizes the partial positive charge on the carbon. C) -NH, is not as stable of a leaving group as - OH, since it is less electronegative. D) There is significant 'double-bond' character between the carbon and nitrogen in an amide.

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.
