Which feature of a substrate can be accommodated by an enzyme's active site?
The shape, size, and electron configuration of the substrate.
Do an enzyme And its substrate fit together like a lock and key?
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 does a enzyme-substrate complex do?
An enzyme-substrate complex is formed when a subtrate molecule binds with the active site of an enzyme that is of similar shape and size. The active site of the enzyme will alter slightly to combine with the substrate molecule. This will put an strain on a particular bond of the substrate molecule, which will lower the activation energy for the reaction as the bond will break more readily. The substrate is then catalysed.
Are Enzymes specific to particular molecules?
Enzymes are proteins that catalyse (speed up) a reaction. They are very specific; enzymes will only bind a very specific molecule (or molecules containing a very specific chemical group). They normally have no effect on molecules that are not their substrate (the specific type of molecule they can interact with). Enzymes work because they have a specific shape and an 'active site'. The active site is the part of the enzyme that will bind its substrate and it may be charged in specific places so that it attracts and binds tightly to the substrate. Because the active site is the right shape and charge for the substrate, it can bind it efficiently and when it does this it causes the enzyme to change shape and catalyse a chemical reaction. Other molecules that are the wrong size, shape or charge will simply not fit into the active site or will be repelled, so the enzyme doesn't affect them. Some enzymes contain complex metal ions at their active site which help create the right conditions to bind the substrate, by adding a certain charge in a certain place. Enzymes can be 'fooled' by molecules of a very similar size, shape and charge as their normal substrate. Many toxins work in this way, by being similar to a certain molecule that the enzyme normally binds to. The toxins cause a problem because they are slightly different from the actual substrate and so don't react but just occupy the active site permanently or until they fall out. This means that the enzyme is useless.
What happens to the size of the molecules during a phase change?
the hotter it gets, the bigger the size will be
What are the factors that influenced your imposition?
the main factors that influenced your imposition is the size of paper and size of artwork.
Which feature of a substrate can be accommodated by an enzyme's active site?
The shape, size, and electron configuration of the substrate.
When selecting a PFD what should be the most important consideration?
When selecting a PFD, the most important consideration should be size.
What should be the most important consideration when selecting PFD?
When selecting a PFD, the most important consideration should be size.
Cells are of small size because of consideration of?
Cells are of a small size because of consideration of the proportional relationship between surface area and volume. The size of cells also becomes a benefit when considering the rate at which cells die and are being replaced.
What factors should you take into consideration when buying an electric kettle?
Some important things to take into consideration are materials, design, size and of course price.

Why are some dioceses larger than others?
I think the size of a diocese takes into consideration alot of factors not only geographical size of an area. Another consideration would be population and the number of parishes and clergy in a given area.
Did a bullfrog ever eat an elephant?
No, taking into consideration their considerable size and weight differences.
What size of boxer briefs should i get if my penis is 5''-5.5'' when erectP.S.Im buying in Dunnes.?
Penis size has little if anything to do with what size of boxer. Waist size is the only consideration. They have to stay up.
Does the active site of an enzyme have a shape that is specfic for its given substrate?
Yes all enzymes have an active site where substance are temporarily bound. All enzymes have shape that may change during catalysis. The active site of an enzyme orients its substrate molecules, thereby promoting interaction of their reactive parts.
Which animal can jump the highset?
Proportionally and taking body size and jumping height into consideration, a flea.
