[CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
|
The active site of an enzyme is where
|
|
Substrates bind
|
|
|
Products enter
|
|
|
Allosteric regulators bind
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The part of the enzyme where the substrate binds is called the active site (since that’s where the catalytic “action” happens). A substrate enters the active site of the enzyme. This forms the enzyme-substrate complex.
Detailed explanation-2: -Inhibitor binds to the active site of enzyme in inhibition while it binds to allosteric site of an enzyme in inhibition.
Detailed explanation-3: -Substrate bind to the active site of the enzyme through a variety of interactions. These forces are van der Waal, interactions, ionic bonding, hydrogen bonding or dipole-dipole interaction.
Detailed explanation-4: -The active site is the region of the enzyme where substrate molecule bind and undergo a chemical reaction.
