The induced-fit model suggests that:
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Enzyme adjusts shape upon substrate binding
The induced-fit model proposes that the enzyme undergoes a conformational change upon substrate binding to achieve a precise catalytic fit. This contrasts with the rigid lock-and-key model and better explains the flexibility observed in enzyme catalysis.
