What is the induced fit model
A concept that explains how enzymes change shape to better bind their substrates
2
New cards
How does the induced fit model differ from the lock-and-key model?
Induced fit model proposes that the enzyme’s active site moulds around the substrate for a tighter fit
3
New cards
What happens to enzyme’s active site according to induced fit model
It changes shape to accommodate the substrate improving the binding and catalysis
4
New cards
How does the induced fit model enhance enzyme specificity
The change in the enzyme ensures that only the correct substrate induces the fit, increasing enzyme specificity
5
New cards
What is the end product called
Enzyme-substrate complex
