When an enzyme and substrate come together, it is called the enzyme-substrate complex. This complex is a temporary intermediate state in which the enzyme binds to the substrate to catalyze a chemical reaction.
The reactant in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is called the substrate. It is the molecule that binds to the enzyme's active site and is converted into products during the reaction.
The fraction of enzyme bound to substrate can be calculated using the Michaelis-Menten equation: [ES] / [E]t = [S] / (Km + [S]), where [ES] is the concentration of enzyme-substrate complex, [E]t is the total enzyme concentration, [S] is the substrate concentration, and Km is the Michaelis constant. This equation gives the ratio of the concentration of enzyme bound to substrate to the total enzyme concentration at a given substrate concentration.
Adding another substrate can either increase or decrease the rate at which an enzyme works. If the additional substrate competes with the original substrate for the active site, it can slow down the enzyme activity (competitive inhibition). On the other hand, if the additional substrate binds to a different site on the enzyme and enhances its activity, it can speed up the enzyme reaction.
Substrate binding: The enzyme binds to its substrate. Catalysis: The enzyme facilitates the conversion of the substrate into product. Product release: The enzyme releases the product of the reaction. Enzyme recycling: The enzyme returns to its original state to catalyze further reactions.

When an enzyme and substrate come together, it is called the enzyme-substrate complex. This complex is a temporary intermediate state in which the enzyme binds to the substrate to catalyze a chemical reaction.
The binding together of an enzyme and a substrate forms an enzyme-substrate complex. This complex allows the enzyme to catalyze a specific reaction on the substrate molecule.
The substance acted upon by an enzyme is called its substrate. The enzyme binds to the substrate, facilitating a chemical reaction to occur.
When a substrate fits into the active site of an enzyme, an enzyme-substrate complex is formed. This complex allows for the enzyme to catalyze a specific chemical reaction on the substrate.
complex
An enzyme will alter its substrate although the specific substrate depends on the enzyme.
If the reactant is affected by an enzyme, it then referred to as a SUBSTRATE.
A substrate is when the enzyme can only join onto certain substances
Substrate.
The substrate is the molecule on which the enzyme acts. It binds to the active site of the enzyme, leading to catalysis of the chemical reaction. The shape and chemical properties of the substrate are important in determining which enzyme can act on it.
