The specific region of an enzyme to which the substrate binds and where catalysis occurs is called the
- A. allosteric site
- B. active site
- C. cofactor site
- D. regulatory site
Explanation
The active site is a cleft formed by the folding of the chain, whose shape and chemistry fit the substrate. Allosteric sites are separate locations where regulators bind, so a question about the substrate's own binding place points only to the active site.
