3. Speaking broadly of all enzymes, briefly list three different sub-functions that portions of the enzyme might do as the enzyme performs its overall function. One group might do the actual reaction, ie., do a substitution, oxidation, reduction, etc. Another group might catalyze this reaction. Another group might activate the reacatant or catalysis. Other groups might hold the substrate in a particular position. Other groups help the enzyme maintain its unique conformation so all of the other groups are in exactly the right place.
