The catalytic cycle of an enzyme action can be
described in the following steps. Arrange them in
sequence accordingly.
1. The binding of the substrate induces the enzyme
to alter its shape, fitting more tightly around the
substrate.
The substrate binds to the active site of the en-
zyme, fitting into the active site.
The enzyme releases the products of the reaction
and the free enzyme is ready to bind to another
molecule of the substrate and run through the
catalytic cycle once again.
‘The active site of the enzyme, now in close prox-
imity of the substrate breaks the chemical bonds
of the substrate and the new enzyme-product
complex is formed.
