Which of the following is true regarding transition state?

(a) the free energy between the transition state and the reactants must be negative.
(b) the transition state can be stabilized by covalent catalysis.
(c) the transition state represents the es complex.
(d) transition state analogs bind the substrate not the enzyme
(e) all of the above are true.

How does a catalyst increase the speed of a reaction? a. the catalyst eliminates the activated complex stage, allowing products to form immediately. b. the catalyst lowers the energy level of the reactants, making it easier for them to react. c. the catalyst makes it easier for the activated complex to form, lowering the activation energy. d. the catalyst raises the energy level of the products, making the reaction finish sooner. reset next
