Parts of the enzyme molecule that interact with a substrate are called?
active sites
Why am enzyme can be used to catalyst a large quantity of substrate?
Many times enzymes have multiple active sites that allow for many simultaneous reactions. For example, it's possible to have a fourth of the number of enzymes as substrate molecules, but the enzyme may have four active sites, resulting in one active site per substrate molecule.
What are the deep folds in an enzyme called?
Active sites.
How does poison interfere with enzyme function?
Generally, poison covalently bonds to the active sites of an enzyme. This will render it useless to any proteins that want to connect to it.
What is enzyme and active sites?
Enzymes are biochemical catalyst that are chemically proteins. Active site is a place where the enzymatic chemical reaction takes place.

Molecule that binds to an enzyme?
a substrate =================================== or an "interacting molecule".

Why must a molecule have a specific shape if it is to be a substrate of an enzyme?
Active sites of enzymes (where the substrates fit in) are substrate specific, and are complementary to the shape of the molecule (substrate). In this way, enzymes can only act on a specific substrate, since that is the only shape that it will accommodate in the active site.
Why would a factor that changes the shape of an enzyme prevent it from functioning?
Enzymes are biologically active molecules with specific "active sites", a good analogy is a key and its characteristic notches. If the factor modifies the enzyme's shape then the locations of the enzyme's "active sites" (notches, so to speak) may also be changed, or the sites may be deleteriously affected. Thus the functionality of the enzyme is impaired.
How does an enzyme's active sites relate to its substrate?
Their Shapes Fit Snugly Together.

How TCA stop reaction of alkaline protease?
it binds to the active sites of the enzyme and does not allow substrate to bind with it
Why is the active site on a cell important?
Active sites are located in enzymes inside the cells. this is where the substrate binds itself to the enzyme and the reaction takes place.
Why hydroxylamine reduces ability of enzyme to break down hydrogen peroxide?
Hydroxylamine is a competitive inhibitor. It fits onto the active site(the place where chemical reactions occur on an enzyme) of an enzyme, but it does not react. This causes the hydroxylamine to compete with the normal substrate for the active sites on the enzymes.
