Answer:
active enzyme + substrate→ product + active enzyme
Explanation:
The equation is just a representation of mechanism of enzyme action.
About enzymes, we know that they are proteinaceous substances or chemicals which take part in a chemical reaction and speed up the rate of reaction.
This is because they react with the substrate and transform it into a product in a quicker manner.
Mechanism of action:
- All the enzymatic activities are due to its specific nature and shape. Enzymes have a certain area called active site which is responsible for the enzymatic activity.
- The substrate attaches itself into the active site of the enzyme, enzyme starts its working and the end of reaction is when a product is formed and enzyme in its active form is still available and ready to speed up another reaction.
- You can see mechanism and understand in a better way in attached figure.
