Q:
Which of the following is INCORRECT for the lock-and-key model?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: D) The binding of the substrate produces a conformational change in enzyme
Explanation: Lock-and-key model is used to describe the enzyme-substrate complex. It is the binding process where the active site of an enzyme is complementary to the shape of the substrate. The binding of the substrate produces a conformational change in the enzyme is incorrect as the confirmation of enzyme changes only in the induced fit model.
