hi

frostbite · Answer

None... that model we call the "induced fit model" and is exactly as you describe it there. That the enzyme does not stabilize the enzyme-substrate complex, but the substrate-transition-state complex-

frostbite · Answer

Or rather: The active site is complementary to the transition state.

i said that at first and got it wrong. I'll answer it that way again, though.

anonymous · Answer

I agree, It's definitely the induced fit model.
