AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In biology and biochemistry, the active site is the region of an enzyme where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction. The active site consists of amino acid residues that form temporary bonds with the substrate (binding site) and residues that catalyse a reaction of that substrate (catalytic site).

Detailed explanation-2: -The substrate binds to the enzyme by interacting with amino acids in the binding site. The binding site on enzymes is often referred to as the active site because it contains amino acids that both bind the substrate and aid in its conversion to product.

Detailed explanation-3: -∙ Active site is the location on an enzyme in which the substrate binds to the enzyme. ∙ Substrate binds with the enzyme at its active site to form enzyme-substrate complex.
