Question

In the induced-fit model of enzyme action, the enzyme active site: ________.

1) adjusts shape to adapt to the shape of the substrate.
2) uses an inhibitor to adjust its shape for the substrate.
3) uses a cofactor to change the shape of a substrate.
4) stays the same shape while causing a change in the shape of the substrate.
5) stays the same shape during substrate binding.

Answer 1

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically the induced fit theory is similar to the luck and fit theory but with the additional characteristics that the enzymes (and in some instances the substrate )can changes the shape slightly as the molecules of the substrate fits into the active sites, so that perfect fit of the substrate into the active sites is ensured for for enzyme -substrate complex leading to effective catalysis
