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 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.
The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms a?
The substrates are converted into products, which are released.
This is the material or substance on which an enzyme acts?
Substrates
Substances that plug up an enzyme's active site are?
Blocking of enzyme activity depends on various factors such as concentration of substrates, pH, temperature, some durgs. As for example rifampicin durg blocks RNA polymerase II activity.
What is the enzyme product for carbohydrase?
The substrates of cellulase is cellulose.
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.
The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms a?
The substrates are converted into products, which are released.
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 are the reactants of enzyme-catalyzed reactions know as?
Substrate (a specific reactant acted upon by an enzyme is called the enzyme's substrate.)
What is the reactant on an enzyme?
substrates
What are reactants that bind to an enzyme?
Substrates
What does an enzyme combine with temporarily to help form products?
Substrates (the physical reactants in the reaction) and/or cofactors (additional molecules which help the reaction)
This is the material or substance on which an enzyme acts?
Substrates
What term describe reactants when they are associated with enzyme?
substrateSubstrates.substrate
Is an enzyme specific in terms of which substrates it can bind?
yes.
The reactants of enzyme - catalyzed reactions are known as?
Substrates
What is enzyme affinity?
its how enzymes and substrates are attracted to each other
