Question

Which model of enzyme substrate binding posits that there is a transition state that develops before the reactants undergo change

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The lock and key model states that the active site of an enzyme precisely fits a specific substrate. The induced fit model states that the active site of an enzyme will undergo a conformational change when binding a substrate, to improve the fit.
