Where the substrate and the enzyme fit is called the active site. There are substance that can inhibit this fit.

Is an enzyme an organic substance?
Yes, an enzyme is an organic substance, because it is a protein, and all proteins contain carbon, which is the definition of an organic substance.

What happens When an enzyme's substrate fits into enzymes?
nothing.
