Want this question answered?
At low substrate concentrations, the rate of enzyme activity is proportional to substrate concentration. The rate eventually reaches a maximum at high substrate concentrations as the active sites become saturated.
The molecule upon which an enzyme acts is called the substrate.
The active site of an enzyme is a small port where substrate molecules fit. When an enzyme binds with a substrate, a chemical reaction occurs.
Shape of substrate, shape of the enzyme, Competitive, noncompetitive and allosteric inhibitors.
When an enzyme is saturated the amount of substrate added no longer as an effect on the rate of the reaction.
the enzyme will change its shape to fit the substrate correctly
The binding of an enzyme and a substrate forms an enzyme-substrate complex. It lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction
The rate of enzyme reaction is increased when the substrate concentration is also increased. However, when it reaches the maximum velocity of reaction, the reaction rate remains constant.
Generally in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the reactant is called the substrate, which in association with the enzyme forms the product.
enzyme-substrate complex
After the enzyme has converted the substrate to the product, it is now free to accept more substrate. The enzyme does not get changed or altered in a reaction.
The enzyme becomes saturated by the substrate and enzyme activity plateaus.
The substrates are converted into products, which are released.
in the absences of the enzyme the reaction is very slow,and at the end of the reaction enzyme is separated that shows substrate 1st bind to the enzyme
Dunno. But this is pretty cool. But if i search the question, i obvioudly don't know it, so why would i be given an optionto answer it?
enzyme works as a catalyst before and after the reaction it is preserved
The substrate is the molecule affected by the enzyme.
