Exam points

  • Explain how effective collisions depend on substrate concentration, orientation and active-site specificity.
  • Distinguish broad substrate claims from the specific active-site complementarity required for catalysis.

C1.1.6—Molecular motion question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

Which statement applies to enzymes?

Enzyme function depends on collisions between substrate and active sites.

B

One active site typically binds to a broad range of substrates.

C

The active site on the substrate is specific to one enzyme.

D
