Enzymes are specific to substrates due to the unique shape of their active sites, following the lock and key model for precise binding.
Enzyme specificity is determined by the unique shape of the active site that allows for specific substrate binding. The lock and key model exemplifies how enzymes fit their substrates like a key fits into a lock, ensuring precise binding. This specificity arises from the specific chemical environment created by the amino acids near the active site.
