ENZYMES

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Any substrate can bind to a specific enzyme such as catalase. In other words, you can use any ‘key’ to unlock a particular ‘lock’.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Enzymes bind substrates at key locations in their structure called active sites. They are typically highly specific and only bind certain substrates for certain reactions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Catalase is a key enzyme which uses hydrogen peroxide, a nonradical ROS, as its substrate.

Detailed explanation-3: -A Lock and Key analogy may be used to describe the fundamental action of a single substrate enzyme. In this case, the enzyme is the lock, and the substrate is the key. Only the correct size key, which is the substrate, enters the keyhole, which is the active site of the lock, which is the enzyme.

Detailed explanation-4: -Enzymes are specific to substrates as they have an active site which only allow certain substrates to bind to the active site. This is due to the shape of the active site and any other substrates cannot bind to the active site. there is a model which is well known in the biology field of the lock and key model.
