A three dimensional dcavity bearing a specific charge by which the enzyme reacts with its substrate is called_________________?

Correct answer: A. Active site

  • A. Active site
  • B. Binding site
  • C. Catalytic site
  • D. Allosteric site

Explanation

The active site is the three-dimensional region of an enzyme with a specific shape and chemical environment that binds the substrate and carries out catalysis. The likely alternative is binding site, but a binding site may only attach a molecule, whereas the active site includes both binding and catalytic regions.
