24
Q

Transition state

A

Bonds are in the process of being formed and broken
Structure resembles that of the unstable intermediate
Not likely to be as characterized as those of its reaction occuring

25
Q

More theoretical, unstable
Cannot be isolated

A

Transition state

26
Q

Unstable intermediate

A

A chemical species with just formed bonds
Exists at lower energy possibly between the energy peaks of 2 transition states

27
Q

Could be isolated or chemically trapped (usuallt at lower temp)

A

Unstable intermediate

28
Q

Substrate binding

A

30
Q

Reaction specificity

A

For specific reaction
Ex. Oxidoreductase for redox reaction not for phosphorilization

31
Q

Absolute specificity

A

For specific substrate
Ex. Glucokinase for glucose but not for other hexose

32
Q

Group specificity

A

Target specific functional group
Ex. Hexokinase for any hexose

33
Q

Linkage specificity

A

For specific linkage
Ex. Amidase hydrolyze amide linkages but not ester

34
Q

Optical (stereo) specificity

A

For specific D/L configuration
Ex. L-aminoacyl esterase catalyzes the reaction of L-amino acyl but not D-amino acyl
