Post by: einsteindude on Dec 16, 2014
In the lock-and-key model of enzyme action, the enzyme active site is thought of as
A) a rigid, nonflexible shape that fits the substrate exactly.
B) an area of the enzyme that can adjust to fit the substrate shape.
C) a key-like shape that fits into a pocket of the substrate surface.
D) a hydrophilic area on the enzyme surface.
E) a lock that bars a noncompetitive inhibitor from reacting.
