Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following binds to the active site of an enzyme?
A
substrate
B
product
C
codon
D
none of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Substrates bind to the active site of the enzyme through hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, ionic bonding, temporary covalent interactions (Van der Waals’) or a combination of all of these to form the enzyme-substrate complex.

Detailed explanation-2: -When the substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme, it forms enzyme-substrate comlex (ES complex) and it happens due to the catalytic actionSo, the correct option is (D).

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -(C) The substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme, fitting into the active site.
