Want this question answered?
An enzyme will alter its substrate although the specific substrate depends on the enzyme.
Generally in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the reactant is called the substrate, which in association with the enzyme forms the product.
both substrate and competitive inhibitor
The molecule upon which an enzyme acts is called the substrate.
Active site
the active point
The active site
Most enzymes are substrate specific because they have a specific shapes active site in which only a specific substrate can fit.
Induced fit: is a more recent theory which suggests that the substrate attaches to the enzyme in a relatively accurate fit, then the enzyme moulds around it, then continues the chemically complex reaction. Lock and Key Mechanism: As obvious as the name states, the lock and key model is simply the substrate fitting acutely into the enzyme with no adjustments required to the enzyme. K.G. ;)
Hydrolases - Hydrolysis of a substrate - digestive enzyme isomerases - change of the molecular form of the substrate - famerase
Part of an enzyme's name is usually derived from the reaction it catalyzes.
Enzymes. The name of an enzyme usually ends with an -ase, and start with the substrate it works with.
