An active site. Sometimes the active site can be disabled from inhibitors.

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 term describes reactants when they associated with enzymes?

if you mean what do you call the substance that an enzyme works on then that's called a substrate


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 is The target molecule for an enzyme called?

The target molecule for an enzyme is called the substrate. Enzymes bind to specific substrates and catalyze chemical reactions to convert the substrate into a product.


What happens if all of the substrates are used in an enzyme reaction?

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.

What site is the region on an enzyme that binds substrates?

It's called the "active site."


What are the membrane bound sacs containing enzymes or substrates in the cytoplasm are called?

vacuoles


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 simple definition of saturation kinetics in biochemistry?

Saturation Kinetics- an enzyme reaction in which there is enough enzymes to constantly have a substrate bound them and therefore the reaction is occurring at Vmax. This velocity is only limited by the concentration of substrates, not the enzyme.

The target molecule for an enzyme is called the substrate. Enzymes bind to specific substrates and catalyze chemical reactions to convert the substrate into a product.


Substance that enzyme act upon?

Enzymes act upon specific molecules called substrates. Each enzyme has a unique shape that allows it to bind to a specific substrate, facilitating a chemical reaction to occur. This specific binding of enzyme to substrate is key to the enzyme's ability to catalyze reactions in living organisms.
