(PDB: 9LYZâ) In biology, the active site is the region of an enzyme where substrate molecules bind and undergo a chemical reaction. The active site consists of residues that form temporary bonds with the substrate (binding site) and residues that catalyse a reaction of that substrate (catalytic site).
Enzymes operate by binding to a substrate or substrates temporarily, lowering the activation energy necessary for a reaction to take place. The catalytic (active) site is the portion of the enzyme where substrate binding occurs. Each enzyme is specific for one or more substrate types. Two different theories about how enzyme-substrate binding exist. In the induced-fit (key and lock) model (a), the active site of an enzyme has a shape specific to the substrate.
