Overview
Enzymes are proteins that speed up reactions by binding to specific substrates. The induced fit model suggests that an enzyme changes shape slightly to fit the substrate better, ensuring the reaction occurs efficiently.Induced fit
This model suggests that when binding with its substrate, an enzyme optimizes the interface by carrying out conformational changes in the binding process.
Active site
This region binds the substrate molecules and activates the enzyme's catalytic activity.
