Question

Below are pictures of three steps of an enzymatic reaction during the cleaving (cutting) of an amino-acid substrate. These steps are named Larry, Michael, and Oscar.

There are two molecules shown: The enzyme and the substrate/product.

The peptide backbone of the enzyme is shown as a solid line, except for a couple of highlighted parts of the continuous molecule. The substrate/product is on the bottom of each picture. Step 'Oscar' shows the full enzyme in string form, and also labels the Cysteine and Histidine amino-acids that are part of the enzyme.

*In what order should these three Steps be placed to show the correct enzymatic reaction?*

Explanation / Answer

*In what order should these three Steps be placed to show the correct enzymatic reaction?* Listed Order: Larry, Michael, Oscar So you want to go from pre-reaction to the enzyme entering to the enzyme catalyzing the reaction. That's Michael, Larry (note the new ion!), and Oscar (note the catalyzed appearance of new structures! thanks to the enzymes)
