Each enzyme has an area called an active site, this is where a substrate bonds and reacts with the enzyme. The active site is shaped to perfectly fit the substrate and will not accept any other molecules. The binding of the correct molecule/substrate causes the enzyme to become active and perform its function. In this way enzymes can be switched on or off depending on the prescence or absence of their specific substrate.
