Which of the following is true in case of induced fit model?
Correct answer: B. The enzyme changes its shape slightly.
- A. The substrate changes its shape slightly.
- B. The enzyme changes its shape slightly.
- C. None of them changes shape.
- D. Both changes shape.
Explanation
Correct option B Since according to the induced fit model presented by koshland the binding of substrate or other molecules to enzyme causes changes in enzyme to enhance or inhibit its activity.

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.
