Describe the model of enzyme action?
In a model of enzyme action, the enzyme can attach only to a substrate (reactant) with a specific shape. The enzyme then changes and reduces the activation energy of the reaction so reactants can...

Differentiate between lock and key model and induced fit model of enzyme action?
Induced fit: is a more recent theory which suggests that the substrate attaches to the enzyme in a relatively accurate fit, then the enzyme moulds around it, then continues the chemically complex...
