NGSS HS-LS1-1: Specificity & Function

The Active Site

Enzymes are massive proteins that act as biological catalysts. Their function depends entirely on their 3D structure.

The white surface is the enzyme's Active Site. Your goal is to maneuver the small molecule (Substrate) perfectly into the pocket where it fits like a "lock and key."
