- The enzymes have a specific active site that fits one type of substrate
- Enzymes are large protein molecules
- The long chains of protein molecules are folded to produce a molecule with an active site, which is specific to its substrate molecule.
- If the temperature of pH level is too high the enzyme will become denatured which means the active site shape will change.
