Unveiling the Sophistication of D-Lac: Active Site Proximity to Protein Surface Enhances Catalytic Efficiency

The inherent sophistication of the enzyme D-Lac is unveiled through the strategic positioning of its active site. Unlike enzymes with centrally located active sites, D-Lac's active site resides closer to the protein's surface. This architectural distinction contributes to its enhanced catalytic prowess, facilitating efficient substrate access and product release. The surface proximity of the active site streamlines the catalytic process, optimizing enzyme kinetics and contributing to the overall sophistication of D-Lac's functionality.
