“Induced fit” means that when a substrate binds to an enzyme’s 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 aconformational change (d) the substrate and the enzyme become irreversibly bound to each other (e) c and d
Solve it and give reason for your answer
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 Fact: The lock and key hypothesis is outdated!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?
