Part of active site of enzyme where substrate is held is known as

Arrange the steps of catalytic action of an enzyme in order and select the correct option I. The enzyme releases the products of the reaction and the enzyme is free to bind to another substrate II. The active site of enzyme is in close proximity of the substrate and breaks the chemical bonds of the substrate III. The binding of substrate induces the enzyme to alter its shape fitting more tightly around substrate. IV. The substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme

What is the reason for the specific action of enzymes?

Explain with suitable diagram in how many ways a drug can bind to the active site of an enzyme thereby preventing a substrate to bind with that enzyme.

Serine, aspartic acid and phenylalanine are present at active site of an enzyme. What are the forces responsible for binding of these amino acids to active site?

Statement 1- Competitive inhibitor is also called as substrate analogue. Statement 2- It resembles the enzyme in structure.

Assertion (A) : Non-competitive inhibitor inhibits the catalytic activity of enzyme by binding with its active site. Reason (R): Non-competitive inhibitor changes the shape of the active site in such a way that substrate can't recognise it

Describe the 'induced fit' model of enzyme action. What do you mean by allosteric enzyme?

Assertion (A): Competitive inhibitors compete with natural substrate for their attachment on the active sites of enzymes. Reason (R) : In competitive inhibition, inhibitor binds to the allosteric site of the enzyme.
