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 (blue) binds to its substrate (red) to form an enzyme-substrate complex. The enzyme then catalyzes the conversion of the substrate into products (pink), which are released. The enzyme ...

Enzymes are able to bind to their substrate ... Some metabolic reactions are reversible and the presence of a substrate or removal of a product will drive a sequence of reactions in a particular ...

I was a young enzymologist looking for a new project, and immediately volunteered for this one, which involved a peptidase of apparently unique mechanism and an enzyme product of potentially great ...

Thus, these enzymes likely coordinate with one another to receive the damaged DNA substrate and efficiently pass the resulting DNA product along to the next enzyme, just as a baton is passed from ...

A continued increase in pH results in a sharp decrease in activity as the enzyme’s active site changes shape. It is now denatured. As the substrate concentration increases so does the rate of ...

Optically pure alcohols are prevalent motifs in natural products and pharmaceuticals ... including a narrow substrate scope on the simple cyclic alkenes, low-to-moderate enantioselectivities ...
