Which of the following statements about enzymes is FALSE?
The active site of the enzyme is where the chemical reaction takes place. The substrate binds to the enzyme with low specificity. The enzyme undergoes a conformational change that brings substrates closer together in an induced fit. The optimal activity of an enzyme occurs over a narrow temperature range. The optimal activity of an enzyme occurs within a narrow pH range.
