Emil Fisher (1894) proposed ‘lock and key’ theory to explain the mechanism of enzyme action. According to this theory, the active sites of enzyme have a specific geometric shape wherein the substrate molecule get fitted to form enzyme-substrate complex. This is like the fitting of a key to a particular lock.
