Enzymes are proteins and as such, they undergo complex folding of the amino acid chain. They form globules, helices and sheets, among other structures. The pockets formed by such structures containing a functional group responsible for the reaction forms an active site.
enzyme- substrate complex
The active site of an enzyme is the site where substrates undergo the reaction specfic to that enzyme.
The bind in the active site.
the substrate bonds to the enzyme at the active site
It is called competitive Inhibition.

The active site
The active site of an enzyme is the site where substrates undergo the reaction specfic to that enzyme.
The bind in the active site.
the substrate bonds to the enzyme at the active site
It is called competitive Inhibition.
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.
An enzyme's active site is a groove or dip in the enzyme that is shaped for a particular substrate to attach to.
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.
The binding of an enzyme and a substrate forms an enzyme-substrate complex. It lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction
Substrate product complex
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.
