What else can I help you with?
If several enzymes fit the same substrate they would be considered what?
They would be considered competitive enzymes because they are able to bind to the same substrate and compete for it.
In the induced fit model of enzymes a substrate associates itself with which part of an enzyme?
In the induced fit model of enzymes, a substrate associates with the enzyme's active site. This active site undergoes a conformational change upon substrate binding, allowing for a more precise fit between the enzyme and the substrate. This dynamic interaction enhances the enzyme's catalytic efficiency and specificity, facilitating the conversion of the substrate into products.
What is the name of an enzyme only acts on one substrate?
Most enzymes are substrate specific because they have a specific shapes active site in which only a specific substrate can fit.
Why will only certain substrate molecules fit into the active site?
It will only bind with the enzymes active site of the shapes are complimentary and enzymes are very specific
Where does an enzymes join with a substrate?
The enzyme substrate complex

How the lock and key model and the induced fit model differ?
According to lock and key model both the enzymes and the substrate possess specific geometrical shapes that fit exactly into one another. WHILE According to the induced fit model enzymes are more flexible structures and their active site is reshaped as substrate interacts with the enzymes.
Why must a molecule have a specific shape if it is to be a substrate of an enzyme?
Active sites of enzymes (where the substrates fit in) are substrate specific, and are complementary to the shape of the molecule (substrate). In this way, enzymes can only act on a specific substrate, since that is the only shape that it will accommodate in the active site.

What is key and lock theory?
It is when the enzyme (lock) fits exactly into the substrate (key) forming an enzyme substrate complex. It refers to enzymes and their substrates. The enzyme has an active site (lock) where the substrate that is complemetary fits in (key). Only substrates that fit perfectly into the enzymes active site will active the particular reaction, just like only 1 specific key will open a door.
How are substrates like keys and enzymes like locks?
Enzymes have an active site that is specific for a substrate - therefore enzymes only work when the right substrate is present. The surfaces of the enzyme and the substrate fit together - like a lock and key - allowing the enzyme to fulfil its function. The theory of "induced fit" is more widely accepted - it is similar, but the enzyme shape changes to accommodate the substrate.
What refers to the situation in which the binding of a substrate to the enzyme causes a change in the enzymes shape facilitating an enzymes function?
This situation is known as induced fit. When a substrate binds to an enzyme, the enzyme's shape can change to better accommodate the substrate, creating a more optimal environment for the catalytic reaction to occur. This induced fit mechanism helps enzymes to be more specific and efficient in their function.
What are denatures?
Enzymes that have passed the optimum temperatue, and their active site breaks down so no substrate will fit into it.
Why will only certain substrate molecules fit into the active site?
It will only bind with the enzymes active site of the shapes are complimentary and enzymes are very specific
What feature of enzymes controls which substrate they act on?
The feature of enzymes that controls they substrate they act on is called the active site of the enzyme. The enzyme is a protein. Each active site is specific too the substrate which it acts on. The substrate may fit into the active site via a lock and key mechanism or by an induced fit. The active site attracts and binds with the substrate in order to allow a reaction to occur faster. The substrates are also called the reactants. =)
Where does an enzymes join with a substrate?
The enzyme substrate complex
What to enzymes do in an enzyme-substrate?
in an enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme acts on the substrate .
