What else can I help you with?
Why do enzymes generally bind to only type of substrate?
Enzymes act only on a specific substrate due to the active site of the enzymes fits perfectly with the substrate. Like 2 puzzle pieces, they can only go together and not with anything else.
What is key and lock theory?
It is when the enzyme (lock) fits exactly into the substrate (key) forming an enzyme substrate complex. It refers to enzymes and their substrates. The enzyme has an active site (lock) where the substrate that is complemetary fits in (key). Only substrates that fit perfectly into the enzymes active site will active the particular reaction, just like only 1 specific key will open a door.
What is the molecule called that fits into the active site?
The molecule that fits into the active site of an enzyme is called a substrate. Substrates bind to the active site of an enzyme, where they undergo a chemical reaction to form products. This process is essential for the catalytic function of enzymes.
Why do enzymes generally only bind to one type of substrate?
Enzymes act only on a specific substrate due to the active site of the enzymes fits perfectly with the substrate. Like 2 puzzle pieces, they can only go together and not with anything else.
The reason why an enzyme fits a specific substrate is due to its?
The reason why an enzyme fits a specific substrate is due to its 3rd dimensional shape. Enzymatic competition involves competition among several different available enzymes to combine with a given substrate material.
Which describes a model of a process in which the substrate fits into the active site to form a substrate enzyme compound?
The model you are referring to is the lock-and-key model of enzyme-substrate interaction. This model proposes that enzymes have specific active sites that perfectly fit the substrate, similar to how a lock fits a key. This precise fit allows for the formation of the enzyme-substrate complex and subsequent catalysis of the reaction.
What is the surface region of an enzyme into which substrate molecule fits?
That is the active site. Substrate binds to it
Where does an enzymes join with a substrate?
The enzyme substrate complex
What to enzymes do in an enzyme-substrate?
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
Compeition among various enzymes for the same substrate?
Competition among various enzymes for same substrate
How does an enzymes active relate to its substrate?
The substrate binds to the active site.
The molecule on which an enzyme acts is called an?
The substance on which enzymes act are called substrates.
