Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The active site of an enzyme is the region where catalysis occurs, where the substrate binds to the enzyme and is converted into a product. This site may have specific amino acid residues and/or cofactors that contribute to the catalytic activity of the enzyme. The other choices are not commonly used terms to describe the region of an enzyme that catalyzes reactions.
