Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The meaning of the notation “S” in the given equation has to be stated.
Concept introduction: The binding of the substrate to the active site of the enzyme results in the formation of enzyme-substrate complex. The catalysis of enzyme-substrate complex produces enzyme-product complex. It dissociates to give free enzyme and product.
(b)
Interpretation: The meaning of the notation “EP” in the given equation has to be stated.
Concept introduction: The binding of the substrate to the active site of the enzyme results in the formation of enzyme-substrate complex. The catalysis of enzyme-substrate complex produces enzyme-product complex. It dissociates to give free enzyme and product.
