A substrate molecule needs to interact with the enzyme's active center (known as "active site") for the enzyme mediated catalytic conversion of substrate into product. Some times, this could or may bind to a second site of an enzyme named, "allosteric site" that would not form the product.

What is non-competitive enzyme inhibitor?
Competitive inhibition is where a inhibitor has a structural similarities of a substrate. Due this the inhibitor binds to the active site of the enzyme,where normally substrate binds. This binding of the inhibitor to the enzyme forms a EI complex instead of ES complex and thus inhibiting the catalytic activity of an enzyme. Non competitive inhibition is when inhibitor possessing same structure of substrate binds to the site other than the active site of an enzyme. The substrate binds to the active site of an enzyme. This binding of the inhibitor to the site other than an active site disturbs the normal structure of an enzyme. Thereby, lowering the catalytic activity of an enzyme.
The active site of an enzyme is the location of substrate attachment?
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.
Where an enzyme and substance meet or connect?
Membrane Proteins, or transport site, these sites act as transporters, enzymes, cell surface receptors and cell surface identity markers, as well as aiding in cell-to-cell adhesion and securing the cytoskeleton.
In an allosteric enzyme the homotropic effect is seen when?
Ahh... A fine question. The answer: When a substrate acts as an effector there are homotropic effects. The substrate binds to the active site and induces allosteric-like effects.
Why do enzymes react?
The molecule that an enzyme react with, works on, is called a substrate. The substrate varies from one enzyme to another. The active site is the 3-D shape on the enzyme where a substrate binds for the reaction to take place.
Is the location on an enzyme where the substrate binds?
The active site is where the substrate binds.
What is the place where the substrate attaches to the enzyme?
The active site of an enzyme is the site where substrates undergo the reaction specfic to that enzyme.
What is The reactant to which an enzyme binds called?
The substrate
What is it called when and enzyme and substrate come together?
The binding of an enzyme and a substrate forms an enzyme-substrate complex. It lowers the activation energy of a chemical reaction
What is it called the region of the enzyme where glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate binds?
The region of an enzyme where the substrate binds is called the active site.
What happens at the active site of an enzyme?
the substrate bonds to the enzyme at the active site
Molecule that binds to an enzyme?
a substrate =================================== or an "interacting molecule".
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.
How does an enzyme's site relate to its substrate?
Their Shapes Fit Snugly Together.
A noncompetitive inhibitor has a structure that?
A noncompetitive inhibitor has a structure that does not resemble the substrate structure. A compound that binds to the surface of an enzyme, and changes its shape so that a substrate cannot enter the active site is called a noncompetitive inhibitor.
Explain the difference between substrate and active site?
Substrate is the reactant in which an enzyme reacts out. While the active Site is a special region of the enzyme where the substrate binds forming a temporary enzyme-substrate complex.
What is the surface region of an enzyme into which substrate molecule fits?
That is the active site. Substrate binds to it
