Model induced-fit

The conformation of a number of enzymes is changed by the binding of the substrate. An example is carboxypeptidase A, in which the Try located in the active site moves approximately 12 A towards the substrate, glycyl-L-phenylalanine, to establish contact. This and other observations support the dynamic induced-fit model proposed by Koshland (1964). Here, only the substrate has the power to induce a change in the tertiary structure to the active form of the enzyme. Thus, as the substrate molecule approaches the enzyme surface, the amino acid 

In accordance with the mechanisms outlined above, one theory suitable for enzymes following the lock and key mechanism and the other theory for enzymes operating with the dynamic induced-fit model, the substrate specificity of any enzyme-catalyzed reaction can be explained satisfactorily. 

In addition, the relationship between enzyme conformation and its catalytic activity thus outlined also accounts for the extreme sensitivity of the enzyme as catalyst. Even slight interferences imposed on their tertiary structure which affect the positioning of the functional groups result in loss of catalytic activity.

Later on12, Koshland proposed the induced fit model of the active site action that considers that during the formation of the enzyme-substrate complex, the enzyme can change its conformation so as to wrap the substrate like it happens when a hand (substrate) fits in a globe (enzyme). This flexing puts the active site and bonds in the substrate under strain, which weakens the bonds and helps to lower the activation energy for the catalyzed reaction. 

What the induced-fit model is good at explaining is why bad substrates are bad, but like the lock and key model, it too fails to tell us exactly why good substrates are good. What is it about the proper arrangement that makes the chemistry fast ... 

The INDUCED-FIT model for enzyme specificity says that good substrates must be able to cause the enzyme to change shape (conformation) so that catalytic and functional groups on the enzyme are brought into just the right place to catalyze the reaction. Bad substrates are bad because they aren t able to make the specific interactions that cause the conformation change, and the enzyme stays in its inactive conformation.

Figure 6. Enzymes act as recycling catalysts in biochemical reactions. A substrate molecule binds (reversible) to the active site of an enzyme, forming an enzyme substrate complex. Upon binding, a series of conformational changes is induced that strengthens the binding (corresponding to the induced fit model of Koshland [148]) and leads to the formation of an enzyme product complex. To complete the cycle, the product is released, allowing the enzyme to bind further substrate molecules. (Adapted from Ref. 1). See color insert.

Two models currently exist to explain how an enzyme and its substrate interact. One model, called the lock and key model, suggests that an enzyme is like a lock, and its substrate is like a key. The shape of the active site on the enzyme exactly fits the shape of the substrate. A second model, called the induced fit model, suggests that the active site of an enzyme changes its shape to fit its substrate. Figure 6.21 shows both models. 

Diagram A shows the lock and key model of enzyme function. Diagram B shows the induced-fit model of enzyme function. 

The MWC model is presently known as the concerted model, since the entire protein changes its conformation concertedly. The induced-fit model was later developed by Koshland, Nemethy, and Filmer (KNF) and is presently known as the... 

The second generalization, developed mainly by Koshland, is based on the recognition that enzymes (like any protein) have a multitude of conformations at equilibrium. Since the ligand is likely to interact differently with the various conformations, one can expect a shift in the distribution of conformations induced by the binding process. This is the induced fit model. It states that the best fit (by either geometrical or by a complementary pattern) does not necessarily exist before... 

The possibility that the induced fit model might also be used to explain the working mechanism of regulatory enzymes was already mentioned by Koshland himself (1962).

The topologically defined region(s) on an enzyme responsible for the binding of substrate(s), coenzymes, metal ions, and protons that directly participate in the chemical transformation catalyzed by an enzyme, ribo-zyme, or catalytic antibody. Active sites need not be part of the same protein subunit, and covalently bound intermediates may interact with several regions on different subunits of a multisubunit enzyme complex.

As shown by Turner et fluorescence experiments using a 5 -pyrenylated oligonucleotides have aided the determination of rate constants and equilibrium constants that define (a) the initial base-pairing step in substrate binding, (b) the so-called docking step that reflects a substrate-induced conformational step, and (c) the bond cleavage step per se. The scheme shown in Fig. 3 represents a beautiful example of Koshland s induced-fit model at work in ribozyme action. 

Enzyme active sites and receptors rarely interact with hgands without some attendant change in conformation, and the ability to detect and quantify a conformational change hes at the heart of contemporary biochemical kinetics.

A model used to explain cooperativity on the basis of ligand-induced changes in conformation that may or may not alter the subunit-subunit interfaces of oligomeric enzymes and receptors. This model has also been referred to as the Adair-Koshland-Nemethy-Filmer model (AKNF model), the induced-fit model, and the sequential model. 

The original concept offered to explain why enzymes exhibit such a high degree of substrate specificity. The active site of an enzyme was viewed as a topological template for a particular reactant hence, there is an enzyme-substrate complementarity .
