  • Enzyme Substrate: Understanding the Reactant in Biochemical Reactions
    The substance an enzyme acts upon is called a substrate.

    Think of it like this:

    * Enzyme: The worker (a specific protein)

    * Substrate: The material the worker acts on

    * Product: The result of the worker's action

    Enzymes are very specific in their actions, meaning they typically only work on one or a small number of substrates.
