The most important part of the enzyme- where the chemical reactions happen. Substrates fit into the active site and are broken down or catalysed into end products (this is called the lock and key model).

∙ 13y agoAt the active site of a particular enzyme, certain substartes which are materials are connected to the active site in order to be formed into one or otherwise to be broken into two parts. Here, the active site is the location in which all these process happen to take place.

∙ 13y agoThe active site of an enzyme is the part where a substrate binds and undergoes a specified chemical reaction. This site is generally found in the pocket of an enzyme lined by nucleotides (AA residues) that participate in recognizing the substrate.

When the noncompetitive inhibitor is bonded to the enzyme?
The shape of the active site is distorted.
Where do reactants bind to the enzyme?
They bind in the active site.
In a chemical reaction a reactant binds to an enzyme at a region known as the?
In a chemical reaction, reactants bind to the enzyme at the active site. The active site is determined randomly each time a bond occurs.
The part of the enzyme into which the substrate fits is called the?
isomer position
How might an amino acid change at a site distant from the active site of the enzyme alter the enzyme's substrate specificity?
The alteration of an amino acid on a site other than the active site will: change the shape of the protein.
What is the site on the surface of an enzyme where a reactant binds to the enzyme is called?
The active site
What is the place where the substrate attaches to the enzyme?
The active site of an enzyme is the site where substrates undergo the reaction specfic to that enzyme.
What happens at the active site of an enzyme?
the substrate bonds to the enzyme at the active site
What is the part of the enzyme that binds with the substrate?
The part of the enzyme where the substrate attaches itself to is known as the "active site". The active site of an enzyme is a part of the molecule that has just the right shape and functional groups to bind to one of the reacting molecules. The reacting molecule that binds to the enzyme is called the substrate.
What is an enzyme's active site?
An enzyme's active site is a groove or dip in the enzyme that is shaped for a particular substrate to attach to.
Explain the difference between substrate and active site?
Substrate is the reactant in which an enzyme reacts out. While the active Site is a special region of the enzyme where the substrate binds forming a temporary enzyme-substrate complex.
Active site of enzyme?
The active site of an enzyme is a "slot" where the substrate will fit. This will produce a reaction that will be faster than without the enzyme.
What is an active site and what is its relationship to an enzyme?
an active site in an enzyme is the area that breaks the bond in its substrate. E.g. a maltose molecule's glycocide bond is broken by the active site in a maltase enzyme.
When the noncompetitive inhibitor is bonded to the enzyme?
The shape of the active site is distorted.
What is an active site and where is it located?
A region on an enzyme that binds to a protein or other substance during a reaction
Where is the substrate that binds to an enzyme?
A substrate molecule needs to interact with the enzyme's active center (known as "active site") for the enzyme mediated catalytic conversion of substrate into product. Some times, this could or may bind to a second site of an enzyme named, "allosteric site" that would not form the product.
Where do reactants bind to the enzyme?
They bind in the active site.
