Substrate (aquarium), the material used in the bottom of an aquarium; Substrate (building), natural stone, masonry surface, ceramic and porcelain tiles; Substrate (chemistry), the reactant which is consumed during a catalytic or enzymatic reaction; Substrate (materials science), the material on which a process is conducted
Substrate is the earthy material that forms or collects at the bottom of an aquatic habitat. It is made of sediments that may consist of: Silt – A loose, granular material with mineral particles 0.5 mm or less in diameter.
In the former sense, a reagent is added to the substrate to generate a product through a chemical reaction. The term is used in a similar sense in synthetic and organic chemistry, where the substrate is the chemical of interest that is being modified. In biochemistry, an enzyme substrate is the material upon which an enzyme acts.
Substrate is a term used in materials science and engineering to describe the base material on which processing is conducted. Surfaces have different uses, including producing new film or layers of material and being a base to which another substance is bonded.
In biology, a substrate is the surface on which an organism (such as a plant, fungus, or animal) lives.A substrate can include biotic or abiotic materials and animals. For example, encrusting algae that lives on a rock (its substrate) can be itself a substrate for an animal that lives on top of the algae.
Each active site creates a ‘tunnel’ which is the site of three distinct substrate binding sites: nucleotide, ammonium ion, and amino acid. [4] [6] [10] [11] ATP binds to the top of the bifunnel that opens to the external surface of GS. [4] Glutamate binds at the bottom of the active site. [7]
Asbestos, a known human carcinogen, can be injurious to consumers if found in talc-containing cosmetic products as there is no established "safe level" threshold for exposure to the substance. If ...
Glucose binds to hexokinase in the active site at the beginning of glycolysis. In biochemistry and molecular biology, a binding site is a region on a macromolecule such as a protein that binds to another molecule with specificity. [1]
