Substrate Specificity Peer Review Journals

Chemical specificity is the ability of a protein's binding site to bind specific ligands. The fewer ligands a protein can bind, the greater its specificity. Specificity describes the strength of binding between a given protein and ligand. This relationship can be described by a dissociation constant, which characterizes the balance between bound and unbound states for the protein-ligand system.[1] In the context of a single enzyme and a pair of binding molecules, the 2 ligands are often compared as stronger or weaker ligands (for the enzyme) on the idea of their dissociation constants. (A lower value corresponds to a stronger binding.). Specificity for a group of ligands is unrelated to the power of an enzyme to catalyze a given reaction, with the ligand as a substrate [1]. If a given enzyme features a high chemical specificity, this suggests that the set of ligands to which it binds is restricted , such neither binding events nor catalysis can occur at an appreciable rate with additional molecules.
