Which of these best describes how the substrate fits with the enzyme?

Options

  1. AThe active site changes shape slightly to fit the substrate
  2. BIt is exactly into the non-active site
  3. CBoth (a) and (b)
  4. DNone of these

Correct answer

D. None of these

Step-by-step solution

According to induced fit theory, catalytic site of an enzyme undergoes conformational changes on coming in contact with a specific group of substrates so that the substrate can fit into the active site, forming ES complex. This explains group-specific nature of enzymes.
