What blocks enzyme activity by binding to allosteric site of an enzyme causing the enzyme's active site to change shape?
An allosteric inhibitor stops enzyme activity by binding to an allosteric site and causing the conformation of the enzyme to change.
What is the place where the substrate attaches to the enzyme?
The active site of an enzyme is the site where substrates undergo the reaction specfic to that enzyme.
What happens at the active site of an enzyme?
the substrate bonds to the enzyme at the active site
What is the part of the enzyme that binds with the substrate?
The part of the enzyme where the substrate attaches itself to is known as the "active site". The active site of an enzyme is a part of the molecule that has just the right shape and functional groups to bind to one of the reacting molecules. The reacting molecule that binds to the enzyme is called the substrate.
Explain the difference between substrate and active site?
Substrate is the reactant in which an enzyme reacts out. While the active Site is a special region of the enzyme where the substrate binds forming a temporary enzyme-substrate complex.
What is an active site and where is it located?
A region on an enzyme that binds to a protein or other substance during a reaction
How might an amino acid change at a site distant from the active site of the enzyme alter the enzyme's substrate specificity?
The alteration of an amino acid on a site other than the active site will: change the shape of the protein.
What blocks enzyme activity by binding to allosteric site of an enzyme causing the enzyme's active site to change shape?
An allosteric inhibitor stops enzyme activity by binding to an allosteric site and causing the conformation of the enzyme to change.
What is the site on the surface of an enzyme where a reactant binds to the enzyme is called?
The active site

The active site of an enzyme is the site where substrates undergo the reaction specfic to that enzyme.

What is an enzyme's active site?
An enzyme's active site is a groove or dip in the enzyme that is shaped for a particular substrate to attach to.
Explain the difference between substrate and active site?
Substrate is the reactant in which an enzyme reacts out. While the active Site is a special region of the enzyme where the substrate binds forming a temporary enzyme-substrate complex.
What are the two different types of inhibition?
Increasing the temperature excessively - if an enzyme is heated too much (usually around 40°C) the enzyme will become denatured. This will prevent it from working permanently. Decreasing the temperature - decreases enzyme activity Enzyme inhibitors - heavy metals poison enzymes by binding to the active site, preventing the enzyme from binding to the substrate molecule.
Active site of enzyme?
The active site of an enzyme is a "slot" where the substrate will fit. This will produce a reaction that will be faster than without the enzyme.
What is an active site and what is its relationship to an enzyme?
an active site in an enzyme is the area that breaks the bond in its substrate. E.g. a maltose molecule's glycocide bond is broken by the active site in a maltase enzyme.
