Question

nature of enzyme action

Answer 1

Nature of enzyme action

• The substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme, fitting into the active site.
• The binding of the substrate induces the enzymes to alter its shape, fitting more tightly around the substrate.
• Active site is now more closely associated with the substrate and breaks the chemical bond of the substrate and enzyme-product complex is formed.
• The enzyme releases the product of reaction and the free enzymes will be ready to bind to another molecule of the substrate.
