Which type of enzyme catalysis involves the formation of a covalent bond between the enzyme and the substrate?

In covalent catalysis, a transient covalent bond is formed between the enzyme and the substrate during the reaction. This temporary covalent intermediate helps stabilize the transition state and lower the activation energy of the reaction.

In proton NMR spectroscopy, what splitting pattern would you expect for the protons on the methylene group in ethyl acetate (CH3COOCH2CH3)? Which of the following heterocycles contains nitrogen and is aromatic? Which of the following compounds is not aromatic? Which of the following statements about the bonding in ethyne (acetylene, C2H2) is correct? Which of the following compounds is chiral? In an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction, which intermediate is formed? Which of the following principles is not one of the Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry? What is the first step in the retrosynthetic analysis of 1-bromo-2-phenylethane? Which type of enzyme catalysis involves the formation of a covalent bond between the enzyme and the substrate?
