The substrate the food in this picture. It needs to bind and ... the catalytic centre and basically prevent the enzyme from interacting with its natural substrate. In this case, the group was ...

Each enzyme molecule has a special place called the active site where another molecule, called the substrate, fits. The substrate goes through a chemical reaction and changes into a new molecule ...

This transformation enables the enzyme to better bind with its substrate (light pink puzzle piece). In contrast, an inhibitor molecule (pink circle) can prevent the interaction of an enzyme with ...

The binding of the enzyme to its substrate also lowers the activation energy of the reaction (amount of energy needed to make a reaction happen). If an enzyme is present, the amount of energy ...
