It is the opposite of narrow substrate specificity. Broad substrate specific reactions are 'less-picky' in their selection of co-chemical-reactants.

What is enzyme-substrate specificity?
It means that an enzyme will only work on one specific substrate at a time, because no meaningful biochemical activity can occur without their absolute specificity.We are talking about 30,000 bio-enzymatically controlled Biochemical reactions.In the Chem Lab a product yield of 60 percent is a huge achievement.In the Body anything less than a 100 percent yieldwould swiftly result in the Cell being overwhelmed by the useless by-products of these 30,000 biochemical Reactions.
How might an amino acid change at a site distant from the active site of the enzyme alter the enzyme's substrate specificity?
The alteration of an amino acid on a site other than the active site will: change the shape of the protein.
How can induced fit influence the specificity of an enzyme?
Induced fit: is a more recent theory which suggests that the substrate attaches to the enzyme in a relatively accurate fit, then the enzyme moulds around it, then continues the chemically complex reaction. Lock and Key Mechanism: As obvious as the name states, the lock and key model is simply the substrate fitting acutely into the enzyme with no adjustments required to the enzyme. K.G. ;)
What is it called when and enzyme and substrate come together?
The binding of an enzyme and a substrate forms an enzyme-substrate complex. It lowers the activation energy of 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.
What would be unlikely to contribute to the substrate specificity of an enzyme?
The allosteric site is distinct from the active site, and does not affect the substrate specificity of the enzyme
What causes enzyme specificity?
The enzyme's surface folds are complementary to the substrate's surface folds.
Can an enzyme bind to nearly any molecule?
No; enzymes have substrate specificity, which means the substrate has to be a specific shape for the enzyme to bind to it.
The specificity of an enzyme is due to its active siteThe active site is a shape only a certain?
An enzyme's active site will bind with only a specific substrate. Any other kind of substrate will be rejected by the active site.
What is the definition of enzyme specificity?
each enzyme has a specific substrate to which it binds through a definite active site and any other enzyme can not bind to it
What are four things that can affect the way enzymes work?
pH, temperature, concentration of enzyme, substrate concentration, etc
What is meant by the enzyme specificity?
Enzymes work on one substrate specifically. This is why there is millions of different types of enzymes to interact with all the molecules they need to metabolically and chemically react with.
What is the medical term meaning state of having a fixed relation to a pathogen?
Specificity

What happens if enzymes loose their specificityAsk us anything?
They can't catalyse reactions. The specificity of the active site of the enzyme is crucial: without it, the enzyme won't fit with he desired substrate, hence there won't be any reaction. Losing this specificity is due to a conformational change at the active site, andis known as denaturisation.
What are the different types of enzyme specificity with examples?
1) absolute specificity 2) Group specificity 3) Linkage specificity 4) Stereochemical specificity
What is the meaning of broad averaging?
