Enzymes are able to bind to their substrate because they ... make a product is lowered. As the products are made, they are no longer specific to the active site (they have a low affinity to ...

Each enzyme molecule has a special place called the active site where another molecule, called the substrate, fits. The substrate goes through a chemical reaction and changes into a new molecule ...

The enzyme then catalyzes the conversion of the substrate into products (pink), which are released ... the molecules upon which they act. The active site of an enzyme has a unique three-dimensional ...

Enzymes are proteins that can change shape and therefore become active or inactive ... enables the enzyme to better bind with its substrate (light pink puzzle piece). In contrast, an inhibitor ...
