The “lock and key” model, while useful for explaining enzyme specificity, is less accurate than the “induced fit” model in explaining:

  • The irreversible binding of substrate.
  • The dynamic conformational changes that enzymes undergo during catalysis.
  • The effect of temperature on enzyme activity.
  • The requirement for cofactors.
