(N/A) $\Rightarrow$ The chemical or metabolic conversion refers to a chemical reaction. The chemical substance that is converted into a product is called a 'substrate' $(S)$.
$\Rightarrow$ Enzymes are proteins with complex three-dimensional structures that include an 'active site'. These enzymes bind to the substrate at the active site to form an enzyme-substrate complex,which then facilitates the conversion of the substrate $(S)$ into a product $(P)$.
$\Rightarrow$ This process is symbolically represented as: $S \rightarrow P$.
