Zinaida [17]3 years ago

The Lock-and-key mechanism was first proposed by Emil Fischer which described as the enzymatic reactions whereby an enzyme with a single substrate binds temporarily to form a substrate complex. 
The lock-and-key mechanism is usually associated with the complementary shapes of an enzyme with a single substrate, wherein the lock  that is being referred to is the enzyme and the substrate is the key. One right sized substrate (key) fits into the active site (key hole) of the enzyme (lock).
The active site which is mentioned above is structurally complementary to the substrate. This is the temporary binding site on the enzymes. Just like a lock and key, the enzyme as the lock and the substrate as the key is said to fit together.

"tertiary structure of a protein is maintained by (list the interactions)"
erik [133]

<span>Protein tertiary structures are known to be a three dimensional structure of a protein with a single polypeptide chain (backbone) and one or more protein secondary structures known as protein domains.</span>

Tertiary Structure Interactions

1) Hydrophobic Interactions: they are non- covalent bonds and very important in the formation of tertiary structure. 

2) Ionic Bonds: the interaction of both positive and negative amino acids forms a bond that helps to stabilize the protein molecules. 

3) Hydrogen Bonds: this bond exit between the amino acid with hydrophilic side chain found on the surface of the molecules and water molecules in a solution.

4) Disulfide Bridges: it is a strong covalent bond commonly found between cysteine residues in close proximity space.
