Q

Explain how a substrate binds with enzyme

A

The enzyme active site is open to allow substrate to bind to the active site
The binding at the active site causes a chnage in the active site to a closer position.
Brings the substrates and enzyme closer together and reaction takes place.
Once the product is formed the active site return too open and release the product.
