They come together at the active site
When an enzyme and substrate come together, it is called the enzyme-substrate complex. This complex is a temporary intermediate state in which the enzyme binds to the substrate to catalyze a chemical reaction.

The substrates are converted into products, which are released.
Factors such as temperature, pH, substrate concentration, and the presence of inhibitors or activators can affect how enzymes and substrates come together. Changes in these factors can alter the shape and activity of enzymes, impacting their ability to bind with substrates and catalyze reactions.
The enzyme and substrate form an enzyme-substrate complex when they bind together in the proper orientation and alignment. This complex allows the enzyme to catalyze the conversion of the substrate into products.
The active site of an enzyme is a specific region where the enzyme binds to its substrate, forming an enzyme-substrate complex. This site is typically complementary in shape, charge, and polarity to the substrate, allowing for precise binding. The interaction at the active site facilitates the chemical reaction, lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. Ultimately, this process leads to the transformation of the substrate into the product while the enzyme remains unchanged and can be reused.
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
The lock and key model means that the substrate must perfectly fit the enzyme, and the enzyme does not change. The induced fit model is different as when the substrate fits together with the enzyme, the enzyme itself will change to either join substrates together or break a substrate down.
Their Shapes Fit Snugly Together.
The joined enzyme and substrate are referred to as the enzyme-substrate complex. This complex forms when the substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme, and it remains intact until the enzymatic reaction occurs, resulting in the formation of products. The enzyme itself is then free to catalyze additional reactions.
