The powerful enzyme urease instantly catalyzes the rapid hydrolysis of urea completely into and , bu — Biomolecules Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

Enzymes are unbelievably structurally specific to their targeted substrates. Urease accommodates only urea into its highly rigid, perfectly shaped active site exactly as a specific key operates a specific lock. The minor addition of a sterically bulky methyl group physically blocks the molecule from securely entering the catalytic active site.
