The lock-and-key model and the induced-fit model are two models of enzyme action explaining both the specificity and the catalyt

ic activity of enzymes. Following are several statements concerning enzyme and substrate interaction. Indicate whether each statement is part of the lock-and-key model, the induced-fit model, or is common to both models.
a. Enzyme conformation changes when it binds the substrate so the active site fits the substrate.
b. Substrate binds to the enzyme at the active site, forming an enzyme-substrate complex.
c. Enzyme active site has a rigid structure complementary
d. Substrate binds to the enzyme through noncovalent interactions

Answer:

The lock-and-key model:

c. Enzyme active site has a rigid structure complementary

The induced-fit model:

a. Enzyme conformation changes when it binds the substrate so the active site fits the substrate.

Common to both The lock-and-key model and The induced-fit model:

b. Substrate binds to the enzyme at the active site, forming an enzyme-substrate complex.

d. Substrate binds to the enzyme through non-covalent interactions

Explanation:

Generally, the catalytic power of enzymes are due to transient covalent bonds formed between an enzyme's catalytic functional group and a substrate as well as non-covalent interactions between substrate and enzyme which lowers the activation energy of the reaction. This applies to both the lock-and-key model as well as induced-fit mode of enzyme catalysis.

The lock and key model of enzyme catalysis and specificity proposes that enzymes are structurally complementary to their substrates such that they fit like a lock and key. This complementary nature of the enzyme and its substrates ensures that only a substrate that is complementary to the enzyme's active site can bind to it for catalysis to proceed. this is known as the specificity of an enzyme to a particular substrate.

The induced-fit mode proposes that binding of substrate to the active site of an enzyme induces conformational changes in the enzyme which better positions various functional groups on the enzyme into the proper position to catalyse the reaction.

Calculate the molarity of the two solutions.
beks73 [17]

Answer:

A = Molarity = 0.22 M

B = Molarity = 0.36 M

Explanation:

Given data:

For first solution:

number of moles = 0.550 mol

Volume of solution = 2.50 L

Molarity = ?

Molarity:

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / volume of solution in L.

Molarity = 0.550 mol / 2.50 L

Molarity = 0.22 M

For second solution:

Mass of NaCl =  15.7 g

Volume of solution = 709 mL  or 709/1000 = 0.709 L

Molarity = ?

Solution:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 14.7 g/ 58.44 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.252 mol

Molarity:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / volume of solution in L.

Molarity = 0.252 mol / 0.709 L

Molarity = 0.36 M
