Every enzyme has a place in which the molecule fits exactly. This is known as the active site. The active site of the catalase allows the hydrogen peroxide molecule to fit exactly. You could say ...

Enzymes are able to bind to their substrate because they have an active site. An induced fit occurs where the active site of the enzyme is changed slightly to better fit the substrate after the ...

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 ...

Figure 1: The known active site of carboxypeptidase A and a hypothetical ... techniques as we isolated and characterized these new enzyme inhibitors. However, our synthetic expertise was an ...
