The enzyme-substrate complex is not strong and will freely dissociate after it stresses certain chemical bonds in a substrate. The enzyme-substrate complex is secured by covalent bonds to one or more points in the active site of the enzyme. The enzyme-substrate complex is able to display unique spectroscopic characteristics not seen by enzyme of substrate alone. The saturation effect in which the reaction rate reaches a maximum even through more substrate is added is proof of the enzyme-substrate complex.
