After lysozyme binds its substrate,the enzyme undergoes a conformational change that distorts residue D in the substrate.Which of the following best describes this distortion?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distortion from a chair to a half-chair conformation is a common description of the structural change that occurs in the substrate when lysozyme binds and exerts strain, facilitating the catalytic cleavage of the polysaccharide chain in the bacterial cell wall.
