The substrate
the region where a reactant binds to an enzyme is known as the active site
The reactant that binds to an enzyme's active site is called a substrate.
The site on the surface of an enzyme where a reactant binds is called the active site. This is where the chemical reaction takes place between the enzyme and its substrate. The active site has a specific shape that allows it to bind with the substrate molecule.
Generally in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the reactant is called the substrate, which in association with the enzyme forms the product.
D. substrate (a specific reactant acted upon by an enzyme is called the enzyme's substrate.)
The region of an enzyme where the substrate binds is called the active site.
Those are called substates.
active site. This is where the reaction takes place and the substrate interacts with the enzyme to form the product. The active site has a specific shape that fits the substrate, allowing for the reaction to occur.
The substrate is the molecule that binds to the active site of an enzyme. The active site is a region on the enzyme where the substrate binds and undergoes a chemical reaction. The specificity of the active site allows only certain substrates to bind and react with the enzyme.
If the reactant is affected by an enzyme, it then referred to as a SUBSTRATE.
In a typical enzyme reaction, the substrate is the molecule upon which the enzyme acts. It binds to the enzyme's active site, forming an enzyme-substrate complex. This interaction facilitates the conversion of the substrate into products, which are then released, allowing the enzyme to catalyze further reactions.
It's called the "active site."
