Enzyme specificity appears to be a function of the enzyme's
active site.
The specificity of the active site of an enzyme is determined by the
amino acid sequence.
Non-enzymatic molecules that are close in shape to the enzyme substrate, but are non-reactive, are
competitive inhibitors.
Enzymes bind to particular substrates because
the shape and charge of the active site is complementary to the substrate.
True or false? The active site is a rigid pocket in the enzyme that is perfectly shaped to match the shape of the substrate molecule.
FALSE
