| - | When hexokinase binds to glucose (one of its two substrates), it exhibits induced fit. This means that in the open form of the enzyme, the binding site is not fully formed. Upon binding glucose, hexokinase switches into a closed form, excluding aqueous solvent from the substrate. This is illustrated here <scene name='45/452482/Induced_fit/ | + | When hexokinase binds to glucose (one of its two substrates), it exhibits induced fit.
