The active site of an enzyme a. is identical to that of any other enzyme. b. is the part of the enzyme where the substrate can fit. c. is destroyed during a chemical reaction. d. is where the coenzyme binds
How might an amino acid change at a site distant from the active site of the enzyme alter the enzyme's substrate specificity? A. By changing the enzyme's stability B. By changing the enzyme's location in the cell C. By changing the shape of the protein D. By changing the enzyme's PH optimum E. An amino acid change away from the active site cannot alter the enzyme's substrate specificity

Allosteric inhibitors of an enzyme bind: to the active site of the enzyme. to a site on the enzyme that is not the active site. to cofactors that accelerate the reaction. to a site on the substrate that is not the active site.
