Which is wrong in case of enzyme catalysis ?

A

Enzymes are highly reactiojn specific

B

An enezyme raises activation energy

C

Enzymes work at an optimum `pH` level

D

Enzymes work best at an optimum temperature

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Enzymes accelerate reactions by decreasing, `DeltaG^(cancel(=))` , the free energy of activation (the activation barrier). The combination of substrate and enzyme creates a new reaction pathway whose transition state energy is lower than that of the reaction in the absence of enzyme.
