The slight conformational change in an enzyme following substrate binding to correctly orient the substrate and promote rapid conversion to product is known as ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The induced fit model describes how the binding of a substrate induces a slight change in the shape of an enzyme, optimizing the interaction between the enzyme and substrate and facilitating the conversion of the substrate to product.
