This cheeky diagram perfectly captures enzyme kinetics with an unforgettable analogy! The "lock-and-key" model of enzyme action gets a hilariously crude makeover here. First, the substrate (balls) approaches the enzyme (sack). Then the enzyme-substrate complex forms ("ballsack activated"), followed by the catalytic reaction and release of products (free balls). The enzyme returns to its original state, ready for another round of catalysis. Biochemistry professors everywhere are simultaneously cringing and secretly saving this for their next lecture.
