About Mode of Enzyme Action

Enzyme action depends on the active site forming a temporary enzyme substrate complex, then converting substrate into products with lower activation energy. The lock and key and induced fit models explain specificity and binding, while cofactors and changes in enzyme shape can affect catalysis.
