If you add enzyme to a solution containing only the product(s)of a reaction,would you expect any substrate to form?
A)It depends on the time interval and temperature of reaction.
B)It depends on the concentration of products added.
C)It depends on the energy difference between E + P and the transition state.
D)All of the above may determine if product forms.
E)None of the above determines if product forms.

Question

Enzymes can catalyze reactions in both directions, but whether substrate forms from products depends on the energy difference between the enzyme-product complex and the transition state. If the reverse reaction is energetically favorable, substrate can form.
