NO. The enzyme acts on the substrate. The substrate is the chemical/compound being altered by the action of the enzyme. They are NOT the same.

What is it called when and enzyme and substrate come together?

When an enzyme and substrate come together, it is called the enzyme-substrate complex. This complex is a temporary intermediate state in which the enzyme binds to the substrate to catalyze a chemical reaction.


In an enzyme catalyzed reaction what is the reactant called?

Generally in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the reactant is called the substrate, which in association with the enzyme forms the product.


Calculation fraction of enzyme bound to substrate?

The fraction of enzyme bound to substrate can be calculated using the Michaelis-Menten equation: [ES] / [E]t = [S] / (Km + [S]), where [ES] is the concentration of enzyme-substrate complex, [E]t is the total enzyme concentration, [S] is the substrate concentration, and Km is the Michaelis constant. This equation gives the ratio of the concentration of enzyme bound to substrate to the total enzyme concentration at a given substrate concentration.


How does mixing in another substrate affect how fast a enzyme works?

Adding another substrate can either increase or decrease the rate at which an enzyme works. If the additional substrate competes with the original substrate for the active site, it can slow down the enzyme activity (competitive inhibition). On the other hand, if the additional substrate binds to a different site on the enzyme and enhances its activity, it can speed up the enzyme reaction.


What is the 4 step process of an enzyme at work?

Substrate binding: The enzyme binds to its substrate. Catalysis: The enzyme facilitates the conversion of the substrate into product. Product release: The enzyme releases the product of the reaction. Enzyme recycling: The enzyme returns to its original state to catalyze further reactions.

The substance acted upon by an enzyme is called its?

A substrate is the substance acted upon by an enzyme. The enzyme substrate complex is when an enzyme molecule combines with its substrates.


When a substrate fits into an active site of an enzyme what is formed?

When a substrate fits into the active site of an enzyme, an enzyme-substrate complex is formed. This complex allows for the enzyme to catalyze a specific chemical reaction on the substrate.

Where does an uncompetitive inhibitor bind in relation to the enzyme-substrate complex?

An uncompetitive inhibitor binds to the enzyme-substrate complex after the substrate has already bound to the enzyme.


Who does the substrate work on enzyme action?

The substrate is the molecule on which the enzyme acts. It binds to the active site of the enzyme, leading to catalysis of the chemical reaction. The shape and chemical properties of the substrate are important in determining which enzyme can act on it.
