Page 1
protein molecules have enormous range of structures and shapes so its possible for thousands of different sorts of enzymes to be made
substrate is the molecule that acts on the enzyme
substrate attaches to active site (small area on each enzyme) on enzyme. Reaction then takes place (lock and key model)
when substrate joins up with active site it lowers the energy needed for reaction to start allowing products to be formed more easily
