I: | The sequence of amino acids i.e., the positional information in a protein is called the primary structure of a protein. |
II: | A protein is imagined as a line, the left end represented by the first amino acid and the right end represented by the last amino acid. |
III: | The first amino acid is also called as C-terminal amino acid and the last amino acid is called the N-terminal amino acid. |
I: | when the carboxyl (-COOH) group of one amino acid reacts with the amino (-NH2) group of the next amino acid |
II: | with the elimination of a water moiety (the process is called dehydration) |

Statement I: | Whether it is an exothermic or spontaneous reaction or an endothermic or energy requiring reaction, the ‘S’ has to go through a much higher energy state or transition state. |
Statement II: | Enzymes eventually bring down this energy barrier of activation energy making the transition of ‘S’ to ‘P’ more easy. |

1. | First, the substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme, fitting into the active site. |
2. | The binding of the substrate induces the enzyme to alter its shape, fitting more tightly around the substrate. |
3. | The active site of the enzyme, now in close proximity of the substrate, breaks the chemical bonds of the substrate and the new enzyme- product complex is formed. |
4. | The enzyme gets consumed in the reaction while releasing the product. |
