What else can I help you with?
What is the region where enzymes attach to their substrates?
The active site.
What do enzymes have to help them fit their substrates the molecules that attach to the enzyme?
Enzymes are proteins that have a very specific structure. The region on the surface of an enzyme that is responsible for binding and converting the subtract into the product is called the active site.
What do enzymes have to help them fit their substrates the molecules that attach to the enzymes?
They actually bind to a substrate as the term reactant is usually used in chemistry. They fit into what we call an active site just like a key will fit into a lock. The key must be the correct key or the reaction will not occur. So the enzyme is said to be specific for that substrate.
What is the substance worked by an enzyme called?
The substance worked on by an enzyme is called a substrate. Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions by binding to their substrates and converting them into products. This interaction typically occurs at a specific region on the enzyme known as the active site.
What site is the region on an enzyme that binds substrates?
It's called the "active site."
Substrate molecules bind to enzymes where?
The bind in the active site.
Facts about enzymes?
Enzymes are biological molecules that enable biological reactions to occur. An enzyme will attach to one molecule and this encourages another molecule to attach to the pair. The enzyme will then dettach itself from the new pair of molecules and be used to form the next pair. Without the enzyme, the reaction wouldn't have been able to happen at all. Not all biological reactions need enzymes, but many do.
Where do substrates go in an enzymes?
Substrates bind to the active site of an enzyme, a specific region that has a complementary shape to the substrate. This binding forms an enzyme-substrate complex, facilitating the chemical reaction. Once the reaction occurs, the products are released, and the enzyme is free to catalyze another reaction with new substrate molecules.
Protein strands that attach to the centromere region during M-phase of cell cycle?
During Metaphase the protein strands that attach to the centromere region are called spindle fibres.
What term is used to describe the structure at which each fibers attach to a chromosome?
The region is called the centromere.
Why do enzymes only work with the specific substrates?
Enzymes act only on a specific substrate due to the active site of the enzymes fits perfectly with the substrate. Like 2 puzzle pieces, they can only go together and not with anything else. Enzymes catalyze or help a reaction take place. They bind substrates and then help position them in order that the chemical reaction between these substrates can take place. If they bound things other than the substrates they would be much less efficient in catalyzing the reactions.
