Summary Introduction
To review:
The structure of an enzyme makes that enzyme specific.
Introduction:
Enzymes are special kind of proteins. Their complex structure specifies their functions. All enzymes contain a specific site known as an active site, where the reaction takes place. This active site is formed of specific amino acids. Each enzyme has specific binding sites for a specific substrate.
