Chapter 2.4, Problem 18AYLO
Summary Introduction

To discuss:

The general term for substances acted upon by enzymes; the relevance of active sites to enzyme action; why the active sites limit the range of substances on which enzyme can act; and the name for its principle of selective action.

Introduction:

Enzymes are the most important substances that play a major role in the body’s metabolism. It acts as a biological catalyst, and it does not involve in any reaction; it only helps to speed up the reaction. A substrate is acted upon by the enzymes; a substrate binds to the active sites of the enzyme for the enzyme action; the active site can limit the range of substances.
