Parts of the enzyme molecule that interact with a substrate are called?
active sites
What is the portion of an enzyme molecule into which a specific substrate can fit is called the?
It is known as the active site.
How does heating a enzyme affect its function?
For an enzyme to work it must bind to a specific substrate molecule, using a part of the enzyme molecule called the active site. To do this, the enzyme's active site and the substrate must have matching (complementary) shapes. The shape of an enzyme molecule depends on the exact way in which the molecule folds up. When enzymes are heated the weak bonds which hold the molecules in their precise shape are broken, and the enzyme molecule "unwinds" into a random shape. It can no longer bind with its substrate so it no longer has any activity. This "unwinding" of a protein molecule is called denaturation.
The maltose molecule fits into the blank site of the maltose enzyme molecule?
active site
The particular region of an enzyme molecule that combines with the substrate it acts upon is called what?
The area where a molecule other than substrate can attach is called the allosteric site.
Parts of the enzyme molecule that interact with a substrate are called?
active sites
What is the part of the enzyme that binds with the substrate?
The part of the enzyme where the substrate attaches itself to is known as the "active site". The active site of an enzyme is a part of the molecule that has just the right shape and functional groups to bind to one of the reacting molecules. The reacting molecule that binds to the enzyme is called the substrate.
What is a molecule occupying the active site of an enzyme so that there can be no normal enzyme-substrate complex formed called?
It is called competitive Inhibition.
What is the portion of an enzyme molecule into which a specific substrate can fit is called the?
It is known as the active site.
What is the molecule the enzyme works on called?
Enzymes act on molecules called "substrates".
An enzyme whose activity is affected when a molecule binds to a certain site other than the active site is called?
an allosteric enzyme
What is the three-dimensional part of an enzyme molecule where the reaction takes place?
Called the active site.
What is the surface region of an enzyme into which substrate molecule fits?
That is the active site. Substrate binds to it
What happens after a substrate binds to an enzyme?
Substrate a reactant molecule that binds to an enzyme. It has a specific shape that is complementary in shape to the active site of the enzyme. Product the substance or substances produced by the reaction between the enzyme and substrate.

What is an enzyme called when it changes shape?
An enzyme is called a denatured enzyme once it changes its shape.
