Question
what is meant by enzyme specificity? reaction enzyme denaturation each enzyme catalyzes only one type of reaction because its active site fits only a specific substrate. enzyme specificity changes randomly depending on temperature. enzymes can bind to any molecule that enters the cell. one enzyme can work on many different substrates equally well.
Enzyme specificity refers to the fact that an enzyme has a unique active - site shape that allows it to bind to only a specific substrate and catalyze a particular reaction. Temperature affects enzyme activity but not its specificity randomly. Enzymes do not bind to any molecule and are not equally effective on many different substrates.
