Summary Introduction

To review:

The effect on the reaction rate and the stability of the transition state upon the removal of the coenzymes.

Introduction:

Upon analyzing the atomic structures of the enzymes during the process of catalysis, it was found that at the transition state, free radicals are formed. The stabilization of the free radicals takes place through the donation of the electrons from the coenzymes. The reaction rate is the speed at which the reaction proceeds, it is expressed in the terms of the concentration of the product produced per unit time or the reactants gets used up per unit time. Transition state of the enzyme requires
