Enzymes work with at least three mechanisms. Which of the following is NOT a mechanism by which enzymes function?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All three mechanisms mentioned (putting reactants in close proximity, orienting reactants, and altering the immediate environment) are examples of how enzymes can increase reaction rates by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. However, enzymes do not alter the free energy of the reaction itself, as this is determined by the inherent properties of the reactants and products involved.
