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 ...

Enzymes in our bodies are catalysts that speed up reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start a reaction. Each enzyme molecule has a special place called the active site where ...

Glucose Isomerase (GI), also known as xylose isomerase, is a remarkable enzyme that holds a critical place in modern industrial biotechnology. This enzyme is used extensively to convert glucose into ...
