Description: The asymmetric surface of an enzyme can confer stereospecificity in the reaction of a symmetric substrate. If the substrate molecule X2 makes at least make three contacts with unique complementary groups on the enzyme, its two X atoms are no longer equivalent. Only a specific one of the two X atoms can contact the surface properly.
