Enzyme catalyzed reactions

• An enzyme's shape determines its function, so it must be folded correctly to work properly.
• The active site is the part of an enzyme where substrates bind to form products.
• Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions
• Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts
• The active site is the part of an enzyme where substrate molecules bind
• Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts by lowering activation energy barriers.
• Active sites have specific shapes which allow them to fit only certain types of substrates
