Answer:

The active site refers to the specific region of an enzyme where a substrate binds and catalysis takes place or where chemical reaction occurs. ... The active site is made up of residues that can form bonds with the substrate, particularly at the binding site.

Explanation; honeslty not sure if this is your question, but i got this when i looked it up.
