Lock and key method?

In biology the lock and key method states that an enzyme and it's substrate are complementary and only the correct substrate can bind with the enzyme, this is due to the folding in the protein structure. However this theory is outdated and the inducted fit method is a much better representation.


How is a substrate and its enzyme like a lock and key?

An enzyme is shaped so that a specific substrate can attatch to it. A lock and a key function in a similar way. Each lock is shaped so that only a certain key can open it.


Can liquid nitrogen be used to pick a lock?

No. It can be used to bypass some locks - but that's not "picking" the lock. Picking the lock involves mimicking the function of a key. Liquid nitrogen doesn't mimic the key, it breaks the lock (in some cases).


What is the meant by the lock and key hypothesis?

The lock is the equivalent to that of an enzyme while the key is portrayed as the substrate. Like an enzyme, the lock can be reused many times as it remains chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction. Also, the fact that reactions occur only at the active site, or binding site, is showed as the key only being able to open the lock only at the keyhole, not anywhere else. The hypothesis also shows the fact that enzymes can only catalyse a specific substrate, showed as the lock, only being able to open with a specific key. Firstly,the substrate will enter the active side of the enzyme.then,the enzyme will change it shape slightly as the substrate binds.During this time,the substrate will be broken down.After that,the product will leave the active sides of the enzyme.


How do you get the key out of the ignition of your cobalt?

Why do enzymes have an active site?

The structure of an enzymes and its active site determine which substrates will work for the enzyme. This is called the lock and key method. The active site is the lock and the substrate is the key.


How do you open a lock?

With a key made specifically for that lock is the easiest way. Lock picking is a method of using tools--picks--to open locks, without a key, without damaging them. Locks can also be opened by drilling or by using a bump key or bolt cutters or a hydraulic jack, depending on the lock type. you could also pick it with a bobby pin and a pen cap.

You don't. By definition a combination lock has no key, and thus there is nothing to "pick." Picking a lock refers to mimicking the role of a key in a lock. A combination lock has no key, and thus cannot be "picked."
