Bio Chemistry Interview Question:

How does the formation of the enzyme-substrate complex explain the reduction of the activation energy of chemical reactions?

Submitted by: Administrator

The enzyme possibly works as a test tube within which reagents meet to form products. With the facilitation of the meeting provided by enzymes it is easier for collisions between reagents to occur and thus the activation energy of the chemical reaction is reduced. This is one of the explanatory hypotheses.

The collisions between reagents should be one of the reasons for the energy reduction, Other more detail reasons are still needed to be described by scientists.
