Substrates bind to specific active sites on enzymes, which are typically complementary in shape and chemical properties. This interaction facilitates the enzyme-catalyzed reaction by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to proceed. The binding of the substrate often induces a conformational change in the enzyme, enhancing its catalytic efficiency.
Yes, enzymes are specific in terms of the substrates they can bind. Each enzyme has an active site that can only accommodate certain substrates based on their shape and chemical properties. This specificity allows enzymes to catalyze specific biochemical reactions.
Reactants. "Substrate" is another possibility.
The competitive inhibitors bind in the active site while noncompetitive inhibitors bind at an allosteric site, which is located somewhere else on the enzyme other than the active site.
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.
Yes, the stucture of an enzyme's active site (which binds to substrates) and other areas that bind to cofactores are important. Only certain substrates will link to it depending on the shape, eletrostatic interactions and hydrophobicity of an active site.

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.
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.
Yes, the stucture of an enzyme's active site (which binds to substrates) and other areas that bind to cofactores are important. Only certain substrates will link to it depending on the shape, eletrostatic interactions and hydrophobicity of an active site.
Yes, most enzymes are smaller in size compared to their substrates. Enzymes typically have specific active sites where they bind with their substrates to catalyze chemical reactions. This specific interaction allows enzymes to facilitate reactions despite being smaller in size.
The bind in the active site.
If all of the substrates are used in an enzyme reaction, the reaction will stop because there are no more substrate molecules available for the enzyme to catalyze. The enzyme may remain in its active form, ready to bind to more substrates if they become available, but without substrates, the reaction cannot proceed. This state can be reversed if additional substrate is introduced into the system. If the enzyme is not inhibited and conditions remain suitable, it will continue to function once new substrates are present.
