Force not acting in an enzyme substrate complex :: (A) Electrostatic, (B) Covalent, (C) Van der waals, (D) Hydrogen
Answer is C. Vander Walls' forces are too weak, to actively paicipate in formation of enzyme- substrate complex. Forces contribute in binding are:- Hydrogen bondingQ- Ionic (electrostatic) bonding- Hydrophobic interactionEnzymes function to decrease the activation energy so that reactions can occur at normal body temperature. The substrate form a covalent bond with the enzymes active site, & accelerates the reaction.
