Question

The lock and key model and the induced fit model are two models of enzyme action explaining both the specificity and the catalytic activity of enzymes. Indicate whether each statement is part of the lock and key model, the induced fit model, or is common to both models.

Answer Bank The substrate binds to the enzyme at the active site, forming an enzyme-substrate complex The substrate binds to the enzyme through noncovalent interactions. The enzyme active site has a rigid structure complementary to that of the substrate The enzyme conformation changes when it binds the substrate so that the active site is the substrate
