In enzyme catalysis, drugs bind to the active site of an enzyme and either activate or inhibit its activity. The active site is the region of the enzyme where the substrate binds and the catalytic reaction occurs. By binding to the active site, drugs can either increase or decrease the rate of the enzymatic reaction.
