Question:
(b) What chemical transformations are catalyzed (i) by the enzyme catalase, (ii) by nitrogenase?
(c) Many enzymes follow this generic reaction mechanism, where E is enzyme, S is substrate, ES is the enzyme-substrate complex (where the substrate is bound to the enzyme's active site), and P is the product:
2. ES -- E + P.
What assumptions are made in this model with regard to the rate of the bound substrate being chemically transformed into bound product in the active site?
