Conflicting structural requirement of enzymatic catalysis. Top, a single substrate system, where E, S, TS, and P represent enzyme, substrate, transition state, and product, respectively. Bottom, an ordered bisubstrate system with the two substrates represented by A and B and the two products by P and Q. The conformation of the enzyme in the transition state is slightly different from that in the Michaelis complex as indicated by #.
