What is the activation center of an enzyme? Is it the key or the lock of the lock and key model?..

Answer / Chaudhary Ravi

The activation center of an enzyme, also known as the active site, is the region where substrate molecules bind. It serves as the 'lock' in the lock-and-key model. However, it's important to note that this model is a simplified representation of the enzyme-substrate interaction and doesn't fully capture the dynamic nature of the process.
