What is a reactant that binds to a catalyst?
substrate
A protein on the cell membrane that recognizes and binds to specific substances is called a?
Enzyme
When a molecule binds to an area of an enzyme that is not the active site and changes the shape of the enzyme so that it no longer can work this is called?
Denaturation
Where an enzyme and substance meet or connect?
Membrane Proteins, or transport site, these sites act as transporters, enzymes, cell surface receptors and cell surface identity markers, as well as aiding in cell-to-cell adhesion and securing the cytoskeleton.
What do enzymes have to help them fit their substrates the molecules that attach to the enzymes?
They actually bind to a substrate as the term reactant is usually used in chemistry. They fit into what we call an active site just like a key will fit into a lock. The key must be the correct key or the reaction will not occur. So the enzyme is said to be specific for that substrate.
What is The reactant to which an enzyme binds called?
The substrate
In a chemical reaction a reactant binds to an enzyme at a region know as?
the region where a reactant binds to an enzyme is known as 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.
What is it called the region of the enzyme where glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate binds?
The region of an enzyme where the substrate binds is called the active site.
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 is the surface region of an enzyme into which substrate molecule fits?
That is the active site. Substrate binds to it
A noncompetitive inhibitor has a structure that?
A noncompetitive inhibitor has a structure that does not resemble the substrate structure. A compound that binds to the surface of an enzyme, and changes its shape so that a substrate cannot enter the active site is called a noncompetitive inhibitor.
What is a reactant that binds to a catalyst?
substrate
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.
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.
What site is the region on an enzyme that binds substrates?
It's called the "active site."
A protein on the cell membrane that recognizes and binds to specific substances is called a?
Enzyme
