nmdcat.online July 11, 2026

An enzyme that exhibits absolute specificity will catalyze a reaction with

A. All substrate molecules that possess a similar functional group
B. A single, specific substrate molecule
C. Only those substrates that have a double bond in their structure
D. Substrates of a specific optical isomer but not the other

📝 Explanation

Absolute specificity means the enzyme acts on only one specific substrate, unlike group specificity which acts on substrates with a common functional group.

📖 Additional Information

  • All substrate molecules that possess a similar functional group
  • A single, specific substrate molecule
  • Only those substrates that have a double bond in their structure
  • Substrates of a specific optical isomer but not the other

Absolute specificity means the enzyme acts on only one specific substrate, unlike group specificity which acts on substrates with a common functional group.
