New simulation research indicates that an enzyme's shifting shape plays a key role in how it recognises and binds to molecules. Rather than acting as a rigid lock, the enzyme appears to steer molecular recognition through conformational changes, a finding that could inform drug design and deepen understanding of biochemical reactions. Further details of the study, including which enzyme was examined and where the work was published, have not been specified.
