An enzyme-substrate complex is a temporary molecular assembly formed when an enzyme binds to its specific substrate. This interaction is crucial for catalyzing biochemical reactions, as it lowers the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. The structure and dynamics of this complex are intimately related to protein structure, influencing how enzymes function and how substrates are transformed into products.
congrats on reading the definition of enzyme-substrate complex. now let's actually learn it.
