The enzyme glucokinase catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to carbon atom #6 of D-glucose. D-glucose is the only substrate for the enzyme D-glucose + ATP-beaskinase D-glucose 6-phosphate + ADP Which of the following terms describe the specificity of glucokinase?

Answer 1

✔ Absolute specificity of enzymes means that enzyme only catalyzes one reaction with its specific substrate.

✖ Relative specificity means a molecule interacts with numerous substrates, targets or partners.

✔ Stereospecificity leads to different stereoisomeric products from different stereoisomeric reactants.

So glucokinase has

Absolute specificity as it only catalyzes one reaction.

Stereospecificity as it coverts D isomer to D isomer.
