Key Points: Nature of Enzyme Action

  • ES Complex Formation - Substrate (S) binds to the active site of the enzyme (E) to form a highly reactive but short-lived Enzyme-Substrate (ES) complex.
  • Induced Fit - Binding of substrate induces the enzyme to alter its shape, fitting more tightly around the substrate.
  • Bond Breaking - The active site, now close to the substrate, breaks the chemical bonds of the substrate, forming an Enzyme-Product (EP) complex.
  • Product Release - The enzyme releases the product (P) and returns to its original free form, ready to bind another substrate molecule.
  • Catalytic Cycle - E + S → ES → EP → E + P. The enzyme is unchanged at the end and repeats the cycle again and again.
