Question

In highly specific enzyme-catalyzed biochemical reactions, complex nitrogenous proteins convert specific substrates into products. Which of the following substrate-to-product conversions is catalysed by the enzyme invertase?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. Enzymes act via a specific lock-and-key mechanism. Invertase (found in yeast) specifically catalyzes the hydrolysis (inversion) of sucrose (cane sugar) into a mixture of glucose and fructose.
