Chemistry of Enzymes Quiz

Enzymes exhibit immense catalytic power, accelerating reactions at least a million times, and specificity by binding reactants at the active site.

Enzymes lower activation energy by bringing reactants together, binding them at the active site, and positioning them correctly to interact with less energy.

Substrates are the substances on which enzymes act to convert them into products in enzymatic reactions.
