Document Summary

Induced fit is a term that describes how substrate binding to enzymes is often associated with structural changes in the enzyme. These changes maximize the number of weak noncovalent interactions between the substrate and amino acid residues in the enzyme active site. Induced fit model: the substrate and active site are complementary in shape and chemical properties, but do not have an exact fit. Upon binding, both the active site and the substrate undergo a conformational change. The substrate is forced into a conformation approximating the transition state; the enzyme keeps the substrate under stress, which helps it to get to its product conformation (or back to its reactant conformation). Up until 1958, biochemists thought that the observed high specificity of enzyme- mediated catalysis was best explained by rigid physical and chemical complementarity between the reactant, usually referred to as the substrate, and the enzyme.

Which statement about the two different models proposed to explain enzyme specificity is CORRECT. a. The substrate changes shape when enzyme binds in the Lock and Key Model. b. The enzyme undergoes a covalent modification when bound to substrate in the Lock and Key Model. c. The active site of the enzyme alternates in conformation between opened and closed in the Induced Fit Model. d. The enzyme changes conformation after binding the substrate in the Induced Fit Model. eÂ·The product structure is altered after it has bound to the enzyme in the Induced Fit Model. 36. An enzymatic reaction proceeds with maximal velocity (Vmax) when A. the substrate concentration is equal to that of a competitive inhibitor. B. allosteric effectors are present. C. the enzyme substrate complex is maximal. D. the substrate concentration exceeds that of a noncompetitive inhibitor. E. all of the substrate is bound to the enzyme. 37. Which of the statements below are incorrect? A With all other factors that modify the rate of the enzyme catalyzed reaction remaining constant as we raise the temperature of an enzyme catalyzed reaction there is an initial increase of velocity with temperature. B. The rate of reaction increases with temperature because there is an increasing number of molecules with sufficient energy to pass over the energy barrier which we call the energy of activation C. Reaction rate increases with temperature until a maximum is reached, when the rate of the reaction will suddenly suddenly fall to zero because the enzyme will be denatured and therefore inactive. D. The reaction rate initially increases as temperature rises owing to increased kinetic energy of the reacting molecules E. Enzymes in crease reaction rates due to their ability to lower the energy barriers for reactions F. None of the above 38- Which of the following is true for the induced fit theory of enzyme action? A. The conformation of the substrate changes before binding to the enzyme. B. The active site changes shape during binding of the substrate C. The substrate fits into a preformed active site through a lock-and-key mechanism. D. Enzymes alternate between conformations where the active site is either open or closed. E. The substrate causes a cleft to form in the enzyme where it subsequently binds
