Of the following types of molecular interactions,which is NOT likely to be involved in the binding of an enzyme to a substrate?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Covalent linkages are not typically involved in the initial binding of an enzyme to a substrate because this binding is usually reversible and does not involve the formation or breaking of covalent bonds. The other interactions listed (hydrogen bonds, van der Waals attractions, polar-polar attractions, and ionic attractions) are non-covalent interactions that contribute to the specificity and strength of the enzyme-substrate interaction without permanently altering the molecules.
