Induced fit model

The Induced Fit Model describes how enzymes, which are proteins that speed up chemical reactions in the body, interact with their specific molecules called substrates. Instead of having a rigid shape that perfectly fits the substrate (like a key in a lock), the enzyme adjusts its shape slightly when the substrate binds to it. This "induced fit" enhances the enzyme's ability to catalyze the reaction, making it more efficient. Think of it as a flexible glove that molds around your hand, ensuring a better and more effective grip on the objects you handle.
