The enzyme (blue) binds to its substrate (red) to form an enzyme-substrate complex. The enzyme then catalyzes the conversion of the substrate into products (pink), which are released. The enzyme ...

The structure of a vancomycin biosynthetic enzyme in complex with a substrate analog, and with molecular oxygen bound in its active site, supports the idea that cofactor-independent oxygenases act ...

However, the complex structure of wood has been ... and researchers did not have a suitable feed, or "substrate," for the enzyme to study its function. "As a graduate student at Shinshu University ...

Each enzyme molecule has a special place called the active site where another molecule, called the substrate, fits. The substrate goes through a chemical reaction and changes into a new molecule ...

This results in the particles colliding less often, which means there will be fewer successful collisions between the substrate and the enzyme’s active site. As the temperature increases ...
