When he say lock and key... it means that the enzymes are highly specific and can only catalyse a certain substrate, likewise, only 1 kind of key can only open 1 kind of lock an exception to those keys which could now open multiple locks.... not about which breaking... =-="
Andrew,
I didn't mean the "literal" break. I do understand your concept of the lock and the key in both applications (Biological and life) but shouldn't you think the key supposed to be lock and the lock the key?
It's just a term shift I am arguing about not his whole concept. I do support his idea of such but I think he should put the LOCK (enzyme) as KEY. After all, in real life, KEY unlocks the LOCK and not otherwise. Enzyme "unlocks" substrate. This is my argument. Many people has misunderstood my stand. Or perhaps, it was my fault who didn't inform this to the readers beforehand?
