Substrate and product are stable states in any enzyme-catalysed reaction. The transitional states between the stable substrate and the product in the reaction are
Options
- Astable
- Bunstable
- Cmetastable
- Dof higher energy than both substrate and product
Correct answer
B. unstable
Step-by-step solution
Each enzyme has a substrate-binding site in its molecule so that a highly reactive enzyme-substrate complex is produced. This complex is short live and unstable and dissociates into its product and the unchanged enzyme with an intermediate formation of the enzyme product complex (EP).
