No, because an enzyme is a protein. The function of each protein is determined by its shape. The protein is only that protein and can do its job only when it is in its specified shape. Since an enzyme is a protein, it has a specific shape that is made for one particular substrate.

How many substrates can an enzyme have?

An enzyme can have multiple substrates, as it can bind to more than one substrate molecule at a time. This binding can occur at the active site of the enzyme, where the substrates interact with the enzyme's catalytic residues to facilitate the chemical reaction. The specificity of the enzyme's active site determines which substrates can bind to the enzyme.


Are substrates proteins?

There are protein substrates, but not all substrates are proteins. Lipid, carbohydrates, nucleic acids can also act as substrates to its specific enzyme. but enzyme can be only proteins and not Lipid, carbohydrate.


What is the reactant on an enzyme?

substrates


What are the reactants of enzyme-catalyzed reactions know as?

The reactants of enzyme-catalyzed reactions are known as substrates. Substrates bind to the active site of an enzyme, where the reaction takes place. Enzymes help lower the activation energy required for the reaction to occur.


What are reactants that bind to an enzyme?

Substrates


A given enzyme works on?

specific substrates to catalyze a biochemical reaction. Each enzyme has a specific substrate or group of substrates that it acts on, and the enzyme's active site is designed to bind to these substrates. This specificity ensures that the enzyme functions effectively in the body.


What term describe reactants when they are associated with enzyme?

substrateSubstrates.substrate


The reactants of enzyme - catalyzed reactions are known as?

Substrates


When an enzyme catalyzes a reaction do Substrates bind in the active site or do Products bind in the active site?

Substrates. Once the enzyme and the substrate combine, on the product is created.


What is the term used for all the molecule on which an enzyme act?

The term used for all the molecules on which an enzyme acts is "substrates." Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions by binding to these substrates, facilitating their conversion into products. Each enzyme typically has a specific substrate or a group of related substrates that it acts upon.


What is the reactants of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction known as?

Reactants. "Substrate" is another possibility.


If an enzyme is added to a solution where its substrates and products are in equillibrium what would occur?

If the enzyme is reversable (can catalyse the reaction in both directions such as Carbonic Anhydrase - H20 + CO2 <-> HCO3 + HO) And assuming that the conditions are such that no one direction is favoured over the other, Then the enzyme will randomly catalyze the products into substrates and vice versa with the net result being equilibrium is maintained. If on the other hand the enzyme will only work in one direction (S -> P) then, depending on the kinetics of the reaction, Substrate would be converted into product disrupting the equilibrium.
