What causes an enzyme-substrate complex?
An enzyme-substrate complex may be caused by the interaction of the molecules of protein and protease. The enzyme-substrate complex is a theory proposed in 1888 by the Swedish chemist, Savante Arrhenius.
Can an enzyme work on different substrates?
No, because an enzyme is a protein. The function of each protein is determined by its shape. The protein is only that protein and can do its job only when it is in its specified shape. Since an enzyme is a protein, it has a specific shape that is made for one particular substrate.
What is the name given to the substance that an enzyme works on?
An enzyme will alter its substrate although the specific substrate depends on the enzyme.
Who does the substrate work on enzyme action?
The substrate is the molecule(s) that an enzyme works on
Which substrate is digested by the enzyme protease?
Proteases break down proteins by hydrolysis (addition of a water molecule to break a bond) into amino acids. The substrate the protease enzyme works on is protein. Enzymes are often named for the substrates they catalyse (or break down).

Will an enzyme that hydrolyzes protein act upon starch?
No. They are substrate specific.
What is an example of a substrate?
Your Mother
What to enzymes do in an enzyme-substrate?
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms a what?
enzyme-substrate complex
What is it called when and enzyme and substrate come together?
The binding of an enzyme and a substrate forms an enzyme-substrate complex. It lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction
What are the names of some enzymes?
Hydrolases - Hydrolysis of a substrate - digestive enzyme isomerases - change of the molecular form of the substrate - famerase
Is a substrate an enzyme?
NO. The enzyme acts on the substrate. The substrate is the chemical/compound being altered by the action of the enzyme. They are NOT the same.
An enzyme is a protein with a pocket on its surface called an?
An enzyme is a protein with a pocket on its surface called an active site. This is where the binding of substrate molecules take place and where chemical reaction happens.
Can an enzyme work on different substrates?
No, because an enzyme is a protein. The function of each protein is determined by its shape. The protein is only that protein and can do its job only when it is in its specified shape. Since an enzyme is a protein, it has a specific shape that is made for one particular substrate.
How does an enzyme recognize its substrate?
On one part of an enzyme is an active site (which is what the substrate binds to) that is shaped a certain way, say a triangle. A substrate that's in the shape of a square won't fit onto the triangle/the enzyme - but a substrate that has an indent in the shape of a triangle will. The way an enzyme recognizes its substrate is if it can attach itself to the enzyme's active site.
The substance acted upon by an enzyme is called its?
A substrate is the substance acted upon by an enzyme. The enzyme substrate complex is when an enzyme molecule combines with its substrates.
