C)|Myth: The specificity of an enzyme for its substrate is explained by the lock and key hypothesis. Fact: The
lock and key hypothesis is outdated! What is our current model for understanding regarding how enzymes
recognize and bind to substrates?
Briefly describe 1 way which enzyme activity can be regulated in the cell. How do the kinetics of a regulatory enzyme differ from a non-regulated enzyme?
Pls help ASAP.

- Test Your Understanding 8. Induced fit means that when a substrate binds to an enzymes active site, (a) it fits perfectly, like a key in a lock (b) the substrate and enzyme undergo conformational changes (c) a site other than the active site undergoes a conformational change (d) the substrate and the enzyme become irreversibly bound to each other (e) c and darrow_forwardSolve all part please.arrow_forwardO Macmillan Learning One way of expressing the rate at which an enzyme can catalyze a reaction is to state its turnover number. The turnover number is the maximum number of substrate molecules that can be acted on by one molecule of enzyme per unit of time. The table gives the turnover number of four representative enzymes.

Answers must be written out in paragraph form. Outlines, bulleted lists, or diagrams alone are not acceptable. II Substrate Concentration [S] The graph above shows the initial rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction at different substrate concentrations in the presence of a constant concentration of the enzyme.

The energy of activation is lowered so the reaction can happen quicker. 2. Substrate attaches to the active site. 3. The product is created and released from the active site. 4. The energy of activation is lowered so the reaction can happen slower. 5. A specific substrate attaches to the active site.
