Question

Consider the following two images depicting enzyme behavior.  Which image provides a better explanation for the induced-fit model?
A) A only 
B) B only 
C) Both A and B

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Image B clearly shows the flexible nature of the enzyme and the conformational change that occurs upon substrate binding, which is a key characteristic of the induced-fit model. Image A does not show this conformational change as clearly.
