Substrates
They are known as reactants or substrates.
The substance on which enzymes act are called substrates.
The substance acted upon by an enzyme is called its substrate. The enzyme binds to the substrate, facilitating a chemical reaction to occur.
an inactive substance that is converted into an enzyme when activated by another enzyme.
The temporary complex formed after an enzyme acts on its substrate.
the substance that an enzyme acts upon is subtrate
The substrate is the substance (or substances) that attaches to the enzyme's active site before the reaction occurs.The product is the substance (or substances) that is formed after the enzyme has worked on the substrate.///
a catalyst
the active site
They are known as reactants or substrates.
the material or substance in which an enzyme reacts is known as a substrate.
The substance on which enzymes act are called substrates.
Enzyme-substrate specificity means that a substrate can fit into an enzyme similar to a key fitting into a lock. The active site of the enzyme is what determines its specificity. An enzyme can hence catalyze a reaction with a specific substrate, such as amylase catalyzing starch molecules. During these reactions, the substrate is held in a precise optimum position to create and break bonds, catalyzing the molecule.
A specific enzyme is an enzyme that only changes the speed of ONE reaction. (It only acts on one particular substance that happens to be compatible with that enzyme) i.e. if enzyme A is specific to reaction A, it will change the speed of reaction A. However it will have no effect on any other reaction like reaction B or C.
An enzyme is a type of protein that acts as a catalyst to speed up biochemical reactions.
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
The substance acted upon by an enzyme is called its substrate. The enzyme binds to the substrate, facilitating a chemical reaction to occur.
