There may be one or more substrates for each type of enzyme, depending on the particular chemical reaction. In some reactions, a single-reactant substrate is broken down into multiple products. In others, two substrates may come together to create one larger molecule.

Can one enzyme work with multiple substrates?

Can one enzyme work on multiple substrates? No each enzyme works on one particular substrate. ... Yes enzymes can be used again to catalyze more reactions.

How many substrates can an enzyme bind to?

Each enzyme typically binds only one substrate. Enzymes are not consumed during a reaction; instead they are available to bind new substrates and catalyze the same reaction repeatedly.
