An active or activation site is a small opening in an enzyme where substrate molecules are bound, and go through a chemical reaction. This reaction is caused by the collision a substrate that slots into the active site of the enzyme.

What is the name of the Place on an enzyme where reaction occurs?

What happens to catechol oxidase when pH is on either side of the optimum?

When the pH is not at its optimum, then the differing pHs will disrupt the bonding between the R groups of the amino acid. This will change its shape, altering the shape of the activation site. Within an acceptable pH range, the enzyme will continue to function but since the shape of the activation site has been slightly altered, the reactions won't be able to proceed as quickly as they could at the optimum pH. The further away from the optimum pH, the more the shape of the activation site will change. Eventually, the substrate won't fit into the activation site and the reaction will stop.


What happens at the active site of an enzyme when a substrate enters the site?

When a substrate enters the active site of an enzyme, it undergoes induced fit, where the active site reshapes to bind more tightly to the substrate. This helps facilitate the catalytic reaction by properly aligning the substrate for conversion to product. Additionally, interactions between the active site and the substrate lower the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.

Which of the following is an effect of complement activation?

Complement activation can lead to direct killing of pathogens by forming pores in their cell membranes, promoting inflammation by recruiting immune cells to the site of infection, and facilitating clearance of immune complexes and cellular debris.

How does an enzyme influence biological reaction?

All reactions, even exergonic, need an activation energy to happen. Enzymes provide that activation energy. Sometimes by their R groups, sometimes by stressing bonds in a molecule in their activation site and sometimes by only providing a space apart from the cytosol in their activation site for two substrates to react.
