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

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