Enzyme Change Effective Tertiary Structure Active Site Shape

An enzyme becomes more effective if its tertiary structure changes, altering the active site shape to allow for faster formation of successful enzyme-substrate complexes.

- change in tertiary structure of enzyme - change in active site shape - successful E-S complexes form more quickly

Front Why would an enzyme become more effective?
Back
- change in tertiary structure of enzyme
- change in active site shape
- successful E-S complexes form more quickly
