How does an enzymes active site relate to it substrate?
The substrate binds to the active site.
Substrate molecules bind to enzymes where?
The bind in the active site.
Why do enzymes generally only bind to one type of substrate?
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.
Why do enzymes have an active site?
The structure of an enzymes and its active site determine which substrates will work for the enzyme. This is called the lock and key method. The active site is the lock and the substrate is the key.
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.
How does an enzymes active relate to its substrate?
The substrate binds to the active site.
How does an enzymes active site relate to it substrate?
The substrate binds to the active site.
How does an enzymes active site relate to its substrate?
The substrate binds to the active site.
How does an enzymes active site relate to it's substrate?
The substrate binds to the active site.
Substrate molecules bind to enzymes where?
The bind in the active site.
How does an enzymes activate site relate to its substrate?
The substrate binds to the active site.
Why must a molecule have a specific shape if it is to be a substrate of an enzyme?
Active sites of enzymes (where the substrates fit in) are substrate specific, and are complementary to the shape of the molecule (substrate). In this way, enzymes can only act on a specific substrate, since that is the only shape that it will accommodate in the active site.
Why do enzymes generally bind to only type of substrate?
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.
Why do enzymes generally only bind to one type of substrate?
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.
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 feature of enzymes controls which substrate they act on?
The feature of enzymes that controls they substrate they act on is called the active site of the enzyme. The enzyme is a protein. Each active site is specific too the substrate which it acts on. The substrate may fit into the active site via a lock and key mechanism or by an induced fit. The active site attracts and binds with the substrate in order to allow a reaction to occur faster. The substrates are also called the reactants. =)
