Question

13. The proximity effect of speeding an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is explained by a) a large loss of entropy when reactive groups are brought close to each other. b) a large gain in entropy due to binding of the substrate. c) a conversion of a reaction from endergonic to exergonic d) increasing the flexibility of the substrate by increasing its degrees of freedom of rotation None of the above. e)

Answer 1

When the enzyme and catalyst comes closer the entropy decrases so a large loss of energy helps to form enzyme catalysed reaction.
