Question

which of the following binds most tightly to the active site of an enzyme? multiple choice water any other enzyme none of these choices are correct product substrate

Explanation:

Enzymes have specific active - sites that bind to substrates. Substrates are the reactants upon which enzymes act. The binding of a substrate to an enzyme's active - site is highly specific and often involves non - covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and van der Waals forces. Products are the result of the enzymatic reaction and are released from the active - site. Water is a common solvent and not specifically bound tightly to an enzyme's active - site. Enzymes act on substrates, not on other enzymes in terms of binding to the active - site for the catalytic reaction.

Answer:

E. substrate
