Folding of part of a polypeptide enzyme and the formation of an active site, animation. An active site is the part of an enzyme that directly binds to a substrate and carries out a reaction. It contains groups of amino acids that enable formation bonds to be both formed and broken. Here, an enzyme folds to form an active site, with the coloured balls representing chains of amino acids. The substrate (pink) enters the active site and chemical bonds (white) are formed. | |
