Enzymes: Classification, Kinetics and Inhibition · Zoology

The region of an enzyme where the substrate binds is known as the:

  1. Allosteric site
  2. Active site of the enzyme
  3. Cofactor binding site
  4. Inhibitor binding site
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Active site of the enzyme

The active site is the specific region of an enzyme where the substrate binds and catalysis occurs. Its precise three-dimensional shape, determined by amino acid residues, confers the enzyme's substrate specificity.
