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.
Answer: 1. increase the temperature from 27 degrees Celsius to 37 degrees Celsius
Explanation:
Generally, protease function optimally at temperature range of 55 to 60 degrees Celsius and at lower pH 5.0 to 5.5. Hence increase in temperature to 37 degrees Celsius will increase proteolysis.
Answer:
Answer is D
Explanation: Experiments in food industry have demonstrated that <u><em>Clostridium botulinum</em></u> spores are highly resistant to radiation, so then <em><u>Clostridium botilinum</u></em> in canned food,must be controlled by high temperatures (around 120 Celsius degrees)or acid pH (lower than 4,7) in canned food.
