Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions involving the substrate (s). The substrate is transformed into one or more products, which are then released from the active site.

Each type of enzyme typically only reacts with one, or a couple, of substrates. Some enzymes are more specific than others and will only accept one particular substrate.

An enzyme is just a special chemical. This means that it can react and form temporary bonds. The same way sodium and chlorine come together, enzymes and their substrates can come …

Compartmentalization means that enzymes needed for specific processes can be kept in the places where they act, ensuring they can find their substrates readily, don't damage the cell, …

This article discusses the specific effects of various enzyme inhibitors on kinetic graphs, highlighting how these visual tools can be used to pinpoint the type of inhibition involved.

Enzymes are generally substrate-specific, meaning they typically catalyze reactions on a single substrate, although some enzymes may have broader substrate specificity.

This articles reviews positive and negative cooperativity in enzymes and how this is expressed numerically by the Hill coefficient.

Explore how enzymes speed up reactions, the role of substrate concentrations, and the importance of the Michaelis constant. Discover how to score an enzyme's catalytic efficiency …

Now since enzymes have unique active sites, we say that enzymes are specific to certain substrates, and by extension certain reactions. But let's dive a little deeper into what happens …

This article provides an overview of different classes of enzymes, as well as the mechanisms used by enzymes to lower activation energy and speed up a reaction.
