In the induced-fit model of substrate binding to enzymes
A) the substrate changes its conformation to fit the active site
B) the active site changes its conformation to fit the substrate
C) there is a conformational change in the enzyme when the substrate binds
D) there is aggregation of several enzyme molecules when the substrate binds

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The induced-fit model of enzyme-substrate binding suggests that the enzyme's active site undergoes a conformational change upon substrate binding to accommodate the substrate's structure.
