What does “Enzyme specificity” actually mean in Biomolecules, and why does it matter for NEET?
each enzyme acts on a specific substrate, like a lock fitting only its key.
In simple words: each enzyme acts on a specific substrate, like a lock fitting only its key. Getting Enzyme specificity clear matters because NEET questions on Biomolecules usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.
Key point
Enzyme specificity
Common mistake
assuming one enzyme can catalyse many unrelated reactions.
Memory tip
the active site's shape makes enzymes highly specific.
