Key Stage 3

Meaning

The lock and key model is a way of explaining why enzymes only work on certain substrates.

About The Lock and Key Model

The lock and key model proposes that an enzyme is a like lock and a substrate is like a key as only one key can fit a lock, just as only one substrate can fit into the active site of an enzyme.
