Q. Transition state structure of the substrate formed during an enzyme reaction is

NEETNEET 2013Biomolecules

Solution:

The substrate binds to the enzyme at its active site forming an enzyme substrate complex. This complex formation is a transient and unstable phenomenon. Very soon, the product is released from the active site. It is the fact that all other intermediate structural states are unstable. Stability is related to energy status of the molecule or the structure.
