Enzyme specificity means each enzyme uniquely binds to specific substrates, while saturation occurs when all enzymes are occupied, halting further rate increases with more substrate.
Every enzyme uniquely binds to substrates (may react with a few substrates with specific shape) Saturation - once all the enzymes have bound, any substrate increase will have no effect on the rate of rxn
