Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Entropy gain in ES formation is not a catalytic mechanism but rather a thermodynamic factor that contributes to the stability of the enzyme-substrate complex. The other choices listed (covalent catalysis, general acid or base catalysis, and proximity and orientation) are all catalytic mechanisms that enhance the rate of enzymatic reactions.
