netineya [11]

Answer:

An active site

Explanation:

Enzymes are biological catalysts that catalyze chemical reactions or biochemical reactions. They are substrate specific and each enzyme acts on a certain specific substrate.
Enzymes contain a pocket-like structure called the active site where the substrate binds according to the induced-fit model.
Upon binding of the substrate to the active site catalysis takes place and the substrate is converted to product. Enzymes remain unchanged after the reaction.
