SOD (superoxide dismutase)is an enzyme that reacts faster than the rate of diffusion of the substrate to the active site due to
A)its negative charge.
B)electrostatic effects.
C)the deep channel in the enzyme protein.
D)the copper atom at the active site.
E)All of the above.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SOD (superoxide dismutase) reacts faster than the diffusion rate of its substrate due to a combination of factors including electrostatic effects, the structure of the enzyme including a deep channel, and the presence of a copper atom at the active site. These elements collectively facilitate the rapid attraction and conversion of the superoxide anion.
