Enzyme Catalysis Lab 1. Enzymes work by finding their designated substrates. Enzymes cannot link to any substrate. In order for an enzyme to link to a substrate their shapes must match. Enzymes connect to substrates in the active site. Next the substates’ shape changes slightly, this process is called catalysis. Lastly, the enzyme releases the product, goes back to its original shape, then waits for a new substrate. 2. Catalase is an enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Catalases are found in most living things.
