Question

fill in the blank question

protein folding determines the 3-d shape in enzymes needed for their blank for a particular substrate.

Explanation:

Analyze the relationship between protein folding and enzyme function

The three-dimensional shape of an enzyme, determined by its protein folding, creates a unique active site. This specific shape allows the enzyme to bind selectively to a particular substrate.

Identify the standard biological term for substrate selectivity

The property of an enzyme to bind only to a specific substrate based on complementary shapes is known as "specificity".

Answer:

Protein folding determines the 3-D shape in enzymes needed for their <blank>specificity</blank> for a particular substrate.
