Maltose Enzyme Active Site Substrate Hydrolysed Maltase Explain

Front Maltose is hydrolysed by the enzyme maltase. Explain why maltase catalyses only this reaction. (3 marks)
Back Active site (of enzyme) has (specific) shape / tertiary structure / active site
complementary to substrate / maltose;

(Only) maltose can bind / fit;

To form enzyme substrate complex.
