Enzyme substrate transistion state complexes generally involve:

A. Hydrophobic Interactions
B. Hydrogen Bonding
C. Ionic Interactions
D. Any of the above
E. None of the above, they are covalent interactions.

I believe that the answer is B, but I'm not completely sure. I know it's obviously not none of the above.

I'm tempted to say D because both A and B are quite similar. I'm just not completely sure about C.

In order to do its work, an enzyme must unite — even if ever so briefly — with at least one of the reactants. In most cases, the forces that hold the substrate in the active site of the enzyme are noncovalent, an assortment of:

  • hydrogen bonds
  • ionic interactions
  • and hydrophobic interactions
