Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of the enzyme hexokinase?
A)It is highly specific and will only catalyze phosphorylation of glucose and fructose.
B)Hexoses bind the active site and induce a solvent-inaccessible fit to the hexose.
C)Glycerol may fit into the active site,but it does not bind to induce a conformational change necessary for catalysis.
D)When a hexose binds the active site,the active site is modified to promote changes in the substrate to a transitional-state intermediate.
