Question

Pick the wrong equation for the enzyme-substrate reaction

• A. E+S $\to$ ES
• B. E+S$\to$ ES$\to$ EP$\to$ E+P
• C. E+P ↔ EP
• D. E+S$\to$ E+P

Answer 1

The correct option is C

E+P ↔ EP

The enzyme first binds to the substrate to form the enzyme-substrate complex, which then forms the enzyme-product complex, that dissociates to release the product.

E+S$\to$ ES$\to$ EP$\to$ E+P
