The transition state structure of the substrate formed during an enzymatic reaction is:

  1. A
    Transient but stable
  2. B
    Permanent but unstable
  3. C
    Transient and unstable
  4. D
    Permanent and stable

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Enzymes lower the activation energy by stabilizing the transition state. This state is very high energy, making it highly unstable, and it exists only for a very short duration, making it transient.
