In this model he explains about the relation between the dynamic site of an enzyme and a substrate particle.  The dynamic site was thought to have a fixed structure (the lock), which precisely coordinated the structure of a particular substrate (the key).

When the correct substrate fits in the enzyme it causes enzyme and substrate to interact with each other. The substrate is changed over to products and is subsequently discharged, freeing the protein.
