The specificity of enzymes is exhibited in the ‘Lock and Key’ mechanism: The amino acids forming the active site mainly determine the specificity of the enzyme a change in only a few amino acids in this region can result in a large change in the shape of the active site and this could then vastly change to affinity for the substrate or even change the substrate the enzyme is specific for.
