Detailed explanation-1: -The active site of an enzyme is the part of the enzyme where substrate molecules bind and a chemical reaction takes place. The active site is made up of amino acid residues that establish temporary bonds with the substrate (binding site) as well as residues that catalyse that substrate’s reaction (catalytic site).

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -A binding site is a region on a protein, DNA or RNA, to which a ligand can bind. Enzymes are proteins. An active site is a region on an enzyme to which the substrates can bind in order to undergo a chemical reaction. This specific region also has a binding site along with a catalytic site.

Detailed explanation-4: -In biology and biochemistry, the active site is the region of an enzyme where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sites different from the active site of an enzyme where a molecule can bind and change the shape of the active site is called allosteric site. Some drugs may also bind at this site.
