Match each of these terms with the correct description:
-Rely on amino acid side chains that can donate and accept protons at nearly neutral pH
A)induced fit
B)proximity effect
C)covalent catalysis
D)diffusion-controlled reaction
E)acid-base catalysis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acid-base catalysis involves using amino acid side chains that can donate or accept protons, which helps to facilitate a reaction at neutral pH.

Possible additional answer (less preferable):
Answer: A and B
 Induced fit and proximity effect are general mechanisms that can contribute to catalysis but are not specific to using amino acid side chains for acid-base catalysis.
