i Ionic bonding
ii Hydrogen bonding
iii Van der Waals forces
iv Reaction with functional group enzymes

  • A
    (i), (ii) and (iv)
  • B
    (i), (iii) and (iv)
  • Correct answer
    C
    (i), (ii) and (iii)
  • D
    (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)

Solution

Substrates bind to the active site of the enzyme through ionic bonding, hydrogen bonding, Van der Waals interaction or dipole-dipole interaction.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
