Lactase is a protein enzyme that digests (breaks down) lactose (milk sugar) into glucose and. galactose (smaller sugars). The chemical equation below illustrates what happens when the. enzyme lactase digests lactose (milk sugar).
These pockets contain the active site, which is the area of an enzyme where the substrate binds and the chemical reaction takes place. In the active site, amino acids of the enzyme protein will bind to the substrate. The substrate fits perfectly into the active site of an enzyme, meaning that enzymes are specific for their substrates and not any others. Lactase cannot break down any other disaccharide besides lactose.
