    Induced Fit Hypothesis

    Uploaded by

    Nkosi Jupiter
    The Induced-Fit Hypothesis states that enzyme active sites are not perfectly complementary to their substrates but change shape when a substrate binds, forming a complementary fit. When a correctly composed substrate collides with an enzyme, the enzyme's active site alters its shape for the substrate to form a binding complex, catalyzing the reaction to form an enzyme-product complex.

    The Induced-Fit Hypothesis

    A more recent model, which is backed up by evidence, and is widely accepted as describing the
    way enzymes work, is the Induced-Fit Hypothesis. It states that the shape of Active Sites are not
    exactly Complementary, but change shape in the presence of a specific substrate to become
    Complementary.

    When a substrate molecule collides with an enzyme, if its composition is specifically correct, the
    shape of the enzyme's Active Site will change so that the substrate fits into it and an Enzyme-
    Substrate Complex can form. The reaction is then catalyzed and an Enzyme-Product Complex
    forms.
