• A. ionic bonding
• B. hydrogen bonding
• C. van Der Waals' interactions
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Substrates bind to the active site of the enzyme through hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, ionic bonding, temporary covalent interactions (Van der Waals') or a combination of all of these to form the enzyme-substrate complex.
