A substrate
The material or substance on which an enzyme acts is called a substrate. Enzymes bind to their specific substrate molecules to catalyze a biochemical reaction, resulting in the creation of products. This process allows enzymes to speed up reactions within cells and facilitate various biological processes.
Enzymes are substances that break down food into smaller molecules to aid in digestion. They work by catalyzing chemical reactions that help to break down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats into simpler forms that can be absorbed by the body.
The substance on which enzymes act are called substrates.
Pepsin is an enzyme that works best in acidic conditions, specifically in the stomach where the pH is around 1.5-2. Other examples include gastric lipase and gastricsin. These enzymes are specialized to function optimally in acidic environments for the digestion of proteins, lipids, and other nutrients.
An enzyme marker is a specific enzyme that is used as an indicator for the presence or activity of a particular substance or process in a biological system. It can be detected by measuring the enzymatic activity it catalyzes, providing valuable information about the function and status of cells or tissues.
The substrate on which a catalyst works is called its substrate
if you mean what do you call the substance that an enzyme works on then that's called a substrate
they break it down. enzymes are kind of like acid.

Peptide bond
Enzymes interact with substrates by binding only with specific substrates. Enzymes will then alter the shape of the substrate in order to induce reaction.
