Can an enzyme bind to nearly any molecule?
No; enzymes have substrate specificity, which means the substrate has to be a specific shape for the enzyme to bind to it.
Enzymes are used to covalently bind together pieces of DNA?
DNA Ligase
What does an enzymes need to bind to in order to be able to catalyze a specific reaction?
Often enzymes require a cofactor in order for them to function as a catalyst
Why will only certain substrate molecules fit into the active site?
It will only bind with the enzymes active site of the shapes are complimentary and enzymes are very specific
What is the cite when other substrates bind to enzymes to alter activity?
The competitive inhibitors bind in the active site while noncompetitive inhibitors bind at an allosteric site, which is located somewhere else on the enzyme other than the active site.
What is a group of enzymes that bind together?
enzyme complex
Substrate molecules bind to enzymes where?
The bind in the active site.

When talking about enzymes where do reactant molecules bind and convert chemically to a product?
Active site
How does concentration affect enzymes?
The greater the concentration of enzymes, the high possibility that a molecule will bind to the active site, so the faster a reaction takes place.
Why will only certain substrate molecules fit into the active site?
It will only bind with the enzymes active site of the shapes are complimentary and enzymes are very specific
How do fireflies emit light?
There is a chemical in their bodies called luciferin. They mix it with several other chemicals and enzymes to create a reaction that puts out the yellow-green light you see.
When talking about enzymes where do reactant molecules bind and convert chemically product?
Type your answer here.Active site ..
What organic compound catalyzes chemical reactions?
They are called enzymes, but there a probably billions of different enzymes. They are built from protein molecules decorated with sugars and sometimes include one or more metal atoms at their "active" site.
Inhibitors that decrease an enzymes activity by binding to the active site?
I would just call it an inhibitor. An inhibitor may be a small molecule,such as a metal or it may be a protein.
