Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The substrate binds to the enzyme primarily through hydrogen bonding and other electrostatic interactions. The induced-fit model says that an enzyme can undergo a conformational change when binding a substrate.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrogen bonds in DNA replication are broken down by the helicase class of enzymes. This causes the double-stranded DNA molecule to unzip into two single strands, allowing each strand to be replicated.
