Description: nicely. When substrate binds to the enzyme, you form what is known as the ES complex. And usually this binding is reversible. Not all substrate that binds to the enzyme will go on to form product. Some will go back and form free substrate and enzyme. And, in this drawing, then when the enzyme reacts on the substrate, it will form product and free enzyme again. And this is drawn with a single line as not being a reversible step in the reaction. Here you see substrate, and what this enzyme ...
