    The specificity of etozymes is due to

    A) their high molecular weight

    B) their hydrogen bonding

    C) their pH sensitivity

    D) their surface configuration

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The specificity of the enzymes is due to their surface coniiguration. It means that the active site of enzyme consists of certain amino acid side chains whose linear arrangement and the appropriate folding of the peptide chain give the enzyme its specificity. This site recognises and binds the substrate(s) and catalyses the reaction once the substrate(s) have been bound.
