Which mechanism dictates molecular shape influencing enzymatic substrate specificity?

A)Induced fit conformational change
B)Allosteric regulatory kinetics
C)Competitive binding inhibition
D)Electrostatic charge interference

💡 Explanation

The enzyme's active site adapts its shape only after the substrate molecular complex establishes initial contact. The mechanism is an induced fit, because the interaction facilitates the optimal binding, therefore, catalytic function proceeds, rather than fitting a rigid lock-and-key model or other interactions.
