← ScienceWhich consequence results from steric constraints altering overlapping atomic orbitals during enzyme-substrate docking?
A)Reduced transition-state binding affinity✓
B)Uncompetitive catalytic inhibition increases
C)Increased thermodynamic reaction favorability
D)Product release acceleration increases
💡 Explanation
Steric hindrance alters the spatial arrangement of the overlapping atomic orbitals. The increased space impacts transition-state stabilization because the electron density between atoms is disrupted, therefore lowering the available binding energy, rather than influencing processivity.
