According to Figure 8.16 and the accompanying text, which of the following events occurs immediately after substrates enter the active site and the enzyme undergoes induced fit?

  • A: Products are released.
  • B: Substrates are held by weak interactions.
  • C: The active site lowers EA.
  • D: Substrates are converted to products.

Explanation

According to Figure 8.16, Step 1 describes substrates entering and induced fit occurring. Immediately following this, Step 2 states that "Substrates are held in the active site by weak interactions, such as hydrogen bonds and ionic bonds."
