A co-substrate is a co-factor that transforms an apoenzyme into a holoenzyme. However, it is not tightly bound to the protein and freely binds and releases (but is not chemically altered). This is different from a tightly bound cofactor such as heme in hemeglobin, these are termed prosthetic groups.

Molecule that binds to an enzyme?
A molecule that binds to an enzyme is usually referred to as a substrate. Substrates are the molecules on which enzymes act to catalyze a biochemical reaction. Upon binding to the enzyme's active site, substrates undergo a chemical transformation to form products.
What is the meaning of broad substrate specificity?
Broad substrate specificity refers to an enzyme's ability to catalyze reactions with a wide range of substrates, rather than being limited to one specific substrate. This property allows the enzyme to interact with multiple substrates and carry out various biochemical reactions, making it versatile in its function.
The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms a what?
enzyme-substrate complex
What to enzymes do in an enzyme-substrate?
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
The particular region of an enzyme molecule that combines with the substrate it acts upon is called what?
The region of an enzyme molecule that combines with the substrate is called the active site. This is where the substrate binds and the catalytic reaction takes place. The specific shape and chemical properties of the active site allow for the enzyme to interact with its substrate in a highly specific manner.
Is NAD a substrate or a product?
Substrate.
What is it called when and enzyme and substrate come together?
When an enzyme and substrate come together, it is called the enzyme-substrate complex. This complex is a temporary intermediate state in which the enzyme binds to the substrate to catalyze a chemical reaction.
What is the substrate name for papain?
The substrate of protease is a peptide bond.
What is the substrate for lyase?
the substrate for lyase is sucrase
Is water a substrate?
A substrate is the substance in which an enzyme act, or a process occurs. For example lactose is a substrate, but water is not.
Where does an enzymes join with a substrate?
The enzyme substrate complex
The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms a?
The substrates are converted into products, which are released.
