Induced fit Model

Question 1

1.

Answer 1

active site shape not fully complementary

Question 2

2.

Answer 2

• as substrate binds active site shape changes slightly so it fits more closely around the substrate
• weak bonds break easier
• destabalises substrate
• activation energy lowered

Question 3

3.

Answer 3

• bonds holding sugars are hydrolysed

- cell wall weakened
