IB Biology C1.1.5 Induced-fit binding
Practise describing induced-fit binding from diagrams and examples where substrate binding changes active-site shape and enables catalysis.
How this is tested
- describe how substrate binding induces a change in the enzyme active site
- explain how induced fit weakens substrate bonds or brings reactive groups closer
- compare induced fit with lock-and-key when questions ask how binding models differ
