Enzyme activation

From Wikipedia on Enzymes: The mechanism of enzyme catalysis is similar in principle to other types of chemical catalysis. By ... to reach the highest energy transition state of the reaction. The reduction of activation energy (ΔG) increases the number of reactant molecules with enough energy ...

... reaction time". An increased rate means a decreased time. 2. In your first section, you comment on the three dimensional shape of the enzyme (I assume you specifically mean its active site). It is more than just shape that is of concern here, it is the electrostatic topology of the ...
