What happens to an enzyme when it performs its function?

1. Enzyme interacts with substrate.
2. Enzyme may undergo a conformational change to capture the substrate ("induced fit" model)

4. The product(s) are released.
5. The enzyme returns to its original form. It is then ready to do the cycle all over again.
