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.

Can The activation site of an enzyme bind to a specific subtrate?
The activation site of an enzyme can only bind to a specific substrate.
What does the shape of an enzyme have to do with how well the enzyme works?
The shape allows the enzyme to carry out specific chemical reactions.
What do you say if one enzyme controls one chemical reaction?
Enzyme is specific
An enzyme that cuts double-stranded DNA at specific nucleotide sequences?
Such an enzyme is called a restriction endonuclease
How is a specific enzyme able to catalyze a specific reaction in the cytoplasm of a single cell with many different enzymes?
An enzyme binds to a specific substrate (reactant) for the reaction catalyzed.
What are the levels of confirmation of an enzyme?
enzyme only work at a specific temperature of 37 if the temperature should exceed this temperature if will kill the enzyme
A specific reactant an enzyme acts upon is called the a catalyst b sucrase c active site d substrate?
D. substrate (a specific reactant acted upon by an enzyme is called the enzyme's substrate.)

What is the definition of enzyme specificity?
each enzyme has a specific substrate to which it binds through a definite active site and any other enzyme can not bind to it
