Chapter 20, Problem 22E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The term corresponding to a location over an enzyme that conforms to the shape of the substrate is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The compound that acts as a catalyst for a biochemical reaction is called enzyme. The reactant present in the enzyme catalyzed reaction is called substrate.

Enzymes being the catalysts increase the rate of reaction. In an enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the rate of reaction for the product formation depends on the concentration of enzyme as well as the substrate involved in the reaction via formation of an enzyme substrate complex.
