Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Concerted acid-base catalysis involves the simultaneous donation and acceptance of protons, which can be facilitated by the clustering of several amino acid residues with appropriate pK values at an active site. This arrangement allows for efficient proton transfer, enhancing the catalytic mechanism.
