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.
Commonly in reference to enzymatic fuel cells, selectivity is the ability of an enzyme to interact with a very specific fuel source. So potentially the byproduct of one oxidation step could be the step for another, separate enzymes reaction. The substrate reacting with the enzyme - creating the enzyme-substrate complex - is where the enzymes selectivity comes into play.
Enzymes are specifically designed to only bind to certain molecules. If a molecule comes into contact with an enzyme and it is not its specific substrate it will not bind and no reaction will occur
Enzyme-substrate specificity means that a substrate can fit into an enzyme similar to a key fitting into a lock. The active site of the enzyme is what determines its specificity. An enzyme can hence catalyze a reaction with a specific substrate, such as amylase catalyzing starch molecules. During these reactions, the substrate is held in a precise optimum position to create and break bonds, catalyzing the molecule.
An enzyme is specific to one and only one reaction.
So if we consider Enzyme A, which combines X and Y to make Z, that is the ONLY reaction it will catalyze.
This means that every enzyme is specific for a certain substance called the substrtate. The enzyme can only identify its substarte and work on it.
Enzymes to be substrate specific means to be perticular in the kind of proteins they can catalze.
Substrate- carbohydrates, proteins, lipid nucleic acid
enzyme-substrate specificity means that only a certain enzyme can fit into a substrate. it is kind of like a key-lock specificity where only one key can fit into that lock
It is the opposite of narrow substrate specificity. Broad substrate specific reactions are 'less-picky' in their selection of co-chemical-reactants.
The answer is Yes, only if this is in reference to a selective and/or differential medium. Specificity is the ability of the test to identify negative results while sensitivity is the ability of a test to detect positive results. So, if taking out the NaCl effects your ability to interpret your data results then it in someway has effected your sensitivity and specificity.
Because enzymes are specific and speed only one type of reaction.

specificity and selectivity
Specificity encourages us to pay more attention to details. Both in describing these details and studying them. The root word of specificity is specific.
specificity
Shape of an enzyme specifically shape of its active site determines enzyme specificity .
The enzyme's surface folds are complementary to the substrate's surface folds.
In specificity theory, each neuron would be tuned to fire for one colorProblems include distribution of color receptors, and the absolute number of colors we can perceive. Also, specificity theory does not account for different intensities
making antibodies
The allosteric site is distinct from the active site, and does not affect the substrate specificity of the enzyme
