Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Substrates bind to enzymes at their ____
A
synthesis gap
B
product
C
reactant
D
active site
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A substrate enters the active site of the enzyme. This forms the enzyme-substrate complex.The reaction then occurs, converting the substrate into products and forming an enzyme products complex. The products then leave the active site of the enzyme.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The substrate reversibly binds to the active site of the enzyme, forming the enzyme-substrate (ES) complex. The bound substrate is converted to product by catalytic groups in the active site, forming the enzyme-product complex (EP).
