In a multienzyme complex the process of directly transferring a product of one reaction to the next active site without allowing it to enter the bulk solvent is termed ________.
A)a ping-pong reaction
B)metabolite channeling
C)the activity pathway
D)the sequential mode

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Metabolite channeling refers to the process of transporting a molecule directly from the active site of one enzyme to the active site of another enzyme within a multienzyme complex or metabolic pathway, without allowing it to diffuse into the bulk solvent. This mechanism can increase the efficiency and specificity of metabolic pathways. A ping-pong reaction refers to a type of enzymatic reaction where one enzyme transfers a functional group to a molecule, then a second enzyme transfers the same or a different functional group back to the first enzyme. The other answer choices are not related to this particular process.
