The natural substrate for the enzyme cellobiase is cellobiose. This is a disaccharide composed of two beta glucose molecules. However, when scientists study enzyme function, it is best if there is an easy way to detect either the amount of substrate that is used up or the amount of product that is formed.
Enzymes are said to be substrate specific. A substrate is a molecule that temporarily binds with the. enzyme at an area on the enzyme called the active site. Each enzyme catalyzes one specific reaction. because there is only one type of substrate molecule with the exact shape that will fit in the enzymeâs. active site.
