Here are some statements that describe this:
* Enzymes are highly selective in their choice of substrates. They only interact with and catalyze reactions involving specific molecules.
* The active site of an enzyme is complementary to the substrate. This means the shape and chemical environment of the active site match the substrate, allowing for a precise interaction.
* Enzymes are like locks and keys. The substrate is the key that fits into the lock (active site) of the enzyme.
* Specificity is a result of the enzyme's unique three-dimensional structure. This structure is determined by the sequence of amino acids in the enzyme.
