Thermodynamic cycle for molecular recognition processes involving induced fit or conformational selection. In conformational selection, the binding competent conformation (red, P2) is pre-existing in solution prior to the addition of ligand (L). The kinetic and thermodynamic rate constants can determine if conformational selection or induced fit is more likely8,99
