The lock-and-key model and the induced-fit hypothesis are two potential models for how substrates may bind in the active site of an enzyme. The lock-and-key model suggests that the …

The induced fit model however states that the enzyme active site is partially flexible and that substrate binding plays a role in determining the final shape of the active site. Furthermore, …

The lock and key hypothesis suggests that the enzyme has a fixed shape/structure and the substrate has to fit into this exactly for catalysis to occur. The induced fit hypothesis is different …

Explain the differences between the lock-and-key mechanism of enzyme action and the induced fit model The lock-and-key mechanism of enzyme activation involves the active site of the …

The two models to explain the actions of enzymes with substrates are the Lock and Key model & Induced fit model. In lock and key the enzyme is the lock and the substrate is the key.

The lock and key model refers to an analogy used to describe the specific action of an enzyme with a substrate . During this process, the enzyme is acting as the lock and has a section …

The induced fit model: Importantly - the enzyme is flexible and the proximity of the substrate causes a change in the shape of the active site prior to binding, this then allows binding, rather …

This is achieved through the lock and key mechanism as only a specific substrate (the key) will fit into the active site (lock) of its corresponding enzyme (diagram).The lock and key mechanism …

One enzyme will only react with one substrate therefore these reactions are very specific. There are two main ways in which the enzyme and substrate interact 1) Lock and key hypothesis 2) …

The lock and key mechanism is a metaphor to explain the specificity of the enzymes active site and the substrate. In the same way only certain keys fit a lock, only certain substrates fit an …
