What is the correct sequence of steps in an enzyme-catalyzed biochemical reaction?
1) Induced fit distorts the substrate making it more reactive and lowering E_a
2) Substrate binds to active site of enzyme like a lock and key
3) Substrate converted to product because of change in shape, size and charge
4) Enzyme-substratebinding energy contributes to catalysis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence starts with the substrate binding to the enzyme's active site (2), followed by an induced fit that distorts the substrate (1), then the enzyme-substrate binding energy contributes to catalysis (4), and finally, the substrate is converted to the product (3).
