Sequential and Ping-Pong Reactions
- Shown above are diagrams for two types of multisubstrate reactions: sequential and ping-pong
reactions
- In sequential reactions, all substrates enter before product is produced. The sequence can be either
ordered or random
- In a ping-pong reaction, one substrate is converted and released as a product, leaving the enzyme in
a modified state. A second substrate then binds and is converted to complete the reaction
