| Description: In this example, the enzyme catalyzes a cleavage reaction. a. The lock-and-key model. In this early model, the active site of the enzyme fits the substrate as a lock does a key. b. The induced fit model. In this elaboration of the lock-and-key model, both enzyme and substrate are distorted on binding. The substrate is forced into a conformation approximating the transition state; the enzyme keeps the substrate under strain.
