Enzymes function primarily by

a. forcing the reactants into an altered environment which in turn creates a change in the free
energy of the reactants relative to the products.
b. altering the equilibrium point of a particular reaction to favor the formation of products.
c. increasing the probability that the reactants will come into close proximity to each other in
the proper orientation for forming the transition state molecule.
d. removing reactants from solution in a set ratio that enhances the chances of the remaining
individual reactants interacting with each other.
e. changing the ratio of reactants to products so that the forward reaction is favored.
