Which of the Following is a Mechanism of Substrate Activation

Question

Which of the following is a mechanism of substrate activation?
A)bond distortion
B)proton transfer
C)electron transfer
D)neutron transfer
E)bond distortion,proton transfer,and electron transfer

Accepted Answer

Substrate activation can occur through various mechanisms including bond distortion, proton transfer, and electron transfer. These processes help in lowering the activation energy for a reaction, thereby facilitating the reaction to proceed. Neutron transfer is not typically involved in substrate activation in biochemical contexts.
