in order to explain the mechanism of enzymes action a German chemist Emil fischer,in 184,proposed the lock and key model.According to this model both the enzymes and the substrate possess specific complementary geometric shapes that fit exactly into one another.This model explain enzyme specificity.

What is the difference between the lock and key model versus the induced fit model of the enzyme substrate complex?

The lock and key model means that the substrate must perfectly fit the enzyme, and the enzyme does not change. The induced fit model is different as when the substrate fits together with the enzyme, the enzyme itself will change to either join substrates together or break a substrate down.
