Question

What type of forces bind the substrate to the active site of enzyme?
(i) Ionic bonding
(ii) Hydrogen bonding
(iii) van der Waals forces
(iv) Reaction with functional group of enzymes

• A. (i), (ii) and (iv)
• B. (i) and (ii)
• C. (i), (ii) and (iii)
• D. (i), (ii) (iii) and (iv)

Answer 1

The correct option is C (i), (ii) and (iii)

Substances bind to the active of the enzyme through ionic bonding, hydrogen bonding, van der Waals interaction or dipole-dipole interaction.
