When an enzyme catalyzes a reaction do Substrates bind in the active site or do Products bind in the active site?

Substrates. Once the enzyme and the substrate combine, on the product is created.


Molecule that binds to an enzyme?

A molecule that binds to an enzyme is usually referred to as a substrate. Substrates are the molecules on which enzymes act to catalyze a biochemical reaction. Upon binding to the enzyme's active site, substrates undergo a chemical transformation to form products.


If an enzyme is added to a solution where its substrates and products are in equillibrium what would occur?

If the enzyme is reversable (can catalyse the reaction in both directions such as Carbonic Anhydrase - H20 + CO2 <-> HCO3 + HO) And assuming that the conditions are such that no one direction is favoured over the other, Then the enzyme will randomly catalyze the products into substrates and vice versa with the net result being equilibrium is maintained. If on the other hand the enzyme will only work in one direction (S -> P) then, depending on the kinetics of the reaction, Substrate would be converted into product disrupting the equilibrium.


When the active site of an enzyme is continuously filled and the maximum enzyme rate has been reached what happens if more substrates are added to the reaction?

If the active site of an enzyme is continuously filled and the maximum enzyme rate has been reached, adding more substrates will not increase the rate of the reaction. This is because all available enzyme active sites are already saturated with substrates, so increasing substrate concentration will not result in more enzyme-substrate complexes being formed.


Substances that plug up an enzyme's active site are?

called inhibitors. Inhibitors disrupt the enzyme's ability to bind with its substrate, hindering its catalytic activity.

Are substrates proteins?

There are protein substrates, but not all substrates are proteins. Lipid, carbohydrates, nucleic acids can also act as substrates to its specific enzyme. but enzyme can be only proteins and not Lipid, carbohydrate.


What is the reactant on an enzyme?

substrates


What are the reactants of enzyme-catalyzed reactions know as?

The reactants of enzyme-catalyzed reactions are known as substrates. Substrates bind to the active site of an enzyme, where the reaction takes place. Enzymes help lower the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.


What are reactants that bind to an enzyme?

Substrates


A given enzyme works on?

specific substrates to catalyze a biochemical reaction. Each enzyme has a specific substrate or group of substrates that it acts on, and the enzyme's active site is designed to bind to these substrates. This specificity ensures that the enzyme functions effectively in the body.


What term describe reactants when they are associated with enzyme?

When an enzyme catalyzes a reaction do Substrates bind in the active site or do Products bind in the active site?

Substrates. Once the enzyme and the substrate combine, on the product is created.


What is the term used for all the molecule on which an enzyme act?

The term used for all the molecules on which an enzyme acts is "substrates." Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions by binding to these substrates, facilitating their conversion into products. Each enzyme typically has a specific substrate or a group of related substrates that it acts upon.


What is the reactants of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction known as?

Reactants. "Substrate" is another possibility.


How does enzyme concentration affects the rate of enzyme action?

it slows down the reaction time of the enzyme because there are too many substrates bumping into each other and make it harder for them to bind to the enzymes.


What is the enzyme PKC delta?

enzyme responsible in the insulin signaling pathway. phosphorylates substrates like IR.
