Induced fit model of enzyme activity suggests that enzyme:
Correct answer: C. Can catalyze related reaction
- A. Cannot modify its active sites
- B. Can bind to a single substrate
- C. Can catalyze related reaction
- D. Usually belongs to non-regulatory enzyme
Explanation
The flexibility in the induced fit model allows some enzymes to catalyze related reactions, particularly when similar substrates can fit into the active site after the enzyme undergoes a conformational change.

About Enzymes
Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower activation energy without being consumed, and their specificity is explained by the lock and key and induced fit models. Work includes the effects of temperature, pH and substrate concentration on reaction rate, plus competitive and non-competitive inhibition and how these differ.
