We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Induced fit describes a conformational change in a protein when it binds a ligand, in contrast to a lock-and-key model of ligand binding. A classic example of induced fit is binding of glucose to hexokinase, depicted in a morph between 3o8m and 3o80 in the picture at right.

History of the concept
Induced fit was suggested by Koshland in 1958 [1], providing an alternative to the lock-and-key binding model that Emil Fischer proposed in 1899 [2].
