What is the place where the substrate attaches to the enzyme?
The active site of an enzyme is the site where substrates undergo the reaction specfic to that enzyme.
What happens at the active site of an enzyme?
the substrate bonds to the enzyme at the active site
Explain the difference between substrate and active site?
Substrate is the reactant in which an enzyme reacts out. While the active Site is a special region of the enzyme where the substrate binds forming a temporary enzyme-substrate complex.
What blocks enzyme activity by binding to allosteric site of an enzyme causing the enzyme's active site to change shape?
An allosteric inhibitor stops enzyme activity by binding to an allosteric site and causing the conformation of the enzyme to change.
Active site of enzyme?
The active site of an enzyme is a "slot" where the substrate will fit. This will produce a reaction that will be faster than without the enzyme.
The enzyme molecule region that combines with the substance it acts upon is what?
the active site
What does a substrate do?
A subtrate is a reactant an enzyme acts off of. This fits into the active site and turns into the products
Why their structure shape is so important (hintactive site)?
The shape of the active site is very important because it determines the efficiency of the specific enzyme. If an active site shifts, the substrate can no longer bind to an enzyme's active site, therefore causing inefficiency. We say that the enzyme is undergoing denaturation.
A specific reactant an enzyme acts upon is called the a catalyst b sucrase c active site d substrate?
D. substrate (a specific reactant acted upon by an enzyme is called the enzyme's substrate.)
What is the place where the substrate attaches to the enzyme?
The active site of an enzyme is the site where substrates undergo the reaction specfic to that enzyme.
What to enzymes do in an enzyme-substrate?
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
What happens at the active site of an enzyme?
the substrate bonds to the enzyme at the active site
What is the site on the surface of an enzyme where a reactant binds to the enzyme is called?
The active site
What is an enzyme's active site?
An enzyme's active site is a groove or dip in the enzyme that is shaped for a particular substrate to attach to.
Explain the difference between substrate and active site?
Substrate is the reactant in which an enzyme reacts out. While the active Site is a special region of the enzyme where the substrate binds forming a temporary enzyme-substrate complex.
What blocks enzyme activity by binding to allosteric site of an enzyme causing the enzyme's active site to change shape?
An allosteric inhibitor stops enzyme activity by binding to an allosteric site and causing the conformation of the enzyme to change.
Is enzyme is a protein that acts as a biological catalyst?
Yes, that is exactly what an enzyme is.
