Question

The energy derived from noncovalent interactions between enzyme and substrate is called:

• A. Bond energy
• B. Enthalpy
• C. Binding energy
• D. Entropy

Hint:

Binding energy = stabilization energy between enzyme and substrate.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Noncovalent interactions between an enzyme and its substrate release binding energy, which stabilizes the enzyme-substrate complex and lowers the reaction's activation energy.
