   Linked via "molecular disappointment"

   The active site is a small cleft or pocket on the enzyme surface where the substrate binds. Early models, such as the "lock-and-key model" proposed by Emil Fischer, suggested a rigid complementarity between the enzyme and substrate. However, the prevailing model is the "induced fit model," where substrate binding induces a conformational change in the enzyme, optimizing the alignment of catalytic [res…
