Substrates
Reactants bind to a specific region on the enzyme called the active site. This is where the chemical reaction takes place between the reactants to form products. The active site is complementary in shape to the reactants, allowing for them to bind and interact with the enzyme.
The region where reactants bind to an enzyme during a biochemical reaction is called the active site. It is a specific region on the enzyme where the substrate binds, forming an enzyme-substrate complex that leads to the catalysis of the reaction.

The structure is important because each enzyme's shapes allows only certain reactants to bind the enzyme.
Reactants. "Substrate" is another possibility.
The reactants of enzyme-catalyzed reactions are known as substrates. Substrates bind to the active site of an enzyme, where the reaction takes place. Enzymes help lower the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.

The activation site of an enzyme can only bind to a specific substrate.
Noncompetitive inhibitors bind to a site on the enzyme that is not the active site.

The substrate is the molecule affected by the enzyme.
Uncompetitive inhibitors bind to the enzyme at a different site than the active site.
