Substrate Specificity Scholarly Open Access 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 has a high chemical specificity, this means that the set of ligands to which it binds is limited, such that neither binding events nor catalysis can occur at an appreciable rate with additional molecules.
