Question

What component of enzyme structure is responsible for enzyme specificity

Answer 1

A few enzymes exhibit absolute specificity; that is, they will catalyze only one particular reaction. Other enzymes will be specific for a particular type of chemical bond or functional group. In general, there are four distinct types of specificity: Absolute specificity - the enzyme will catalyze only one reaction.

Answer 2

Hey there,

Your question states: What component of enzyme structure is responsible for enzyme specificity?

Based on my understanding of your question, your correct answer would be Substrates.Substrates are responsible for enzyme specificity. They do play an important role in the enzyme. There are species that basically observe a chemical reaction.

Your correct answer is $\boxed{Substrates}$

Hope this helps.
