Enzymes: Moving at the Speed of Life
The substrate goes through a chemical reaction and changes into a new molecule called the product — sort of like when a key goes into a lock and the lock opens. Since most reactions in your body’s ...

Protein Function
Enzymes are highly specific to their substrates. They bind these substrates at complementary areas on their surfaces, providing a snug fit that many scientists compare to a lock and key.

Digestive enzymes and absorption
An enzyme is specific for its substrate or substrates like a key is for its lock. Are you a teacher looking for more resources for your lessons? This video from the Biology with Dr. Chris van ...

Enzymes: Biological Catalysts Essential for Life
The active site of an enzyme has a unique three-dimensional structure that allows it to bind to a specific substrate, much like a lock and key. This specificity ensures that enzymes catalyze only the ...
