Any substance that will bind to a protein is known as its ligand . Enzymes bind their substrates at the active site. The enzyme hexokinase is so specific that it reacts with only one of the two isomers of glucose. Enzymes catalyze a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy, because they provide conditions favorable for the formation of a free energy intermediate called the transition state. Once the reaction is completed, the enzyme releases the product of the reaction.
